Thanks! So one overflow box with two holes, correct? One rerun and one drain? 1.5 or 1"? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Just to make the question a bit more clear. I asked a similar question some time ago. I can't do overflow due to space limitations. I think a single corner return will be best. I am not sure the number and size of holes I should have drilled. I was advised to just drill 2 at 1". I want to do...

I will be ordering a 180 g starfire soon, 72x24x24. What is the best return design choice and thinking. Two corner returns? Rear center? Or a single corner? Also how many holes, what sizes. I plan to have a fuge under, with skim, reactors, etc. Vortechs or tunze's in the tank for flow...

Just drove by too! Sign says opening soon. I drove up to Neptune's Rref today in Torrance. Have wanted to check it out. Was impressed by their fish. Healthy and well cared for. Not a lot of coral or equipment. What is the best store or stores near HB? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Omg. So I am really tired. Did a 10 k this am. So reading your final post I been looking for a hot dog corner overflow. Till I realized I am messed up. Hot dogs and overflows are not related! Sorry! LOL Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Wow, just checked outhouse the ghost box by Marine Savvy. Very nice set up. It is amazing in the tank. Does take up 4+ inches and push the tank out. So final question. This is ideal but if I had to choose between this type overflow and select then a narrower tank, say 20" versus 24", would...

Really appreciate the suggestions. I have already pushed the limits with my wife on the tank size so I can have it wider, at 24". If I go overflow(wasn't aware that a good option so gonna check it out) it will push the tank out another 2-4" right? I want do make good decisions on this tank...

I am getting ready to purchase a 180 gallon LeeMar glass tank. Have been doing lots of research as I get back into the hobby. Question. What are your opinions on best location for the overflow box, rear middle or corner back? Md best recommendation for hole size and placement? Is it...

I am encouraged Mike. I am in HB. Planning to build a reef 180 after many years out of the hobby. I have been planning to build a stand in a craftsman style, yet recently have been reading about steel skinned stands. I have considered finding someone to plumb it but I hear I can do it. Will...

Are you glad you went with the steel skinned? First really nice one I have seen. How did you find and select Willie? I had been planning to build a stand out of wood. Now taking a pause to consider steel. Also interested in the equipment layout. Hoping I can fin a nice layout for a...

And how to find Mike at Sexy? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I am getting ready to build a wood stand for a 180 gallon I am going to build. I want to really make the stand nice with a cherrywood skin. I like one seen on-line at Richens Carpintery. Have done lots of research on the build yet am interested in whether I should consider steel. Does anyone...
