Sweet. I work Thursday -> Sunday in Ridgecrest. I do want to try and set something up to get that tank.

Do you still have the tank?

Before anyone says anything, I have searched quite a bit about the different combos but everyone seems to run only ATI bulbs. I'm running 6 bulbs. Its a little overkill but couldn't beat the deal I got. I have 2 Red Sea Actinic (22k) that are only about 4 months old so those will stay...

I have a glass 48x15x15 sitting in my storage, I'm up in Lancaster. I will see if I have pics of it. Flow: Fuge->Return<-Intake/Skimmer. This is one when I had it up and running

I have 2 of their fixtures: 4x18w (no timer) and 4x80w (timer) Depends on the size bulb. I believe the smallest bulb that ATI makes is a 24" The 18w is 21" wide, don't know if they have a T5HO that has narrower legs.

I have a DIY 48x15x15 (I think that's the measurements): fuge->return<-skimmer & intake. All glass, might have an extra piece of glass too. PM is the best way to get ahold of me if interested.

If it is like some of the other "dirty water" pumps I have seen, they are made to be able to handle "particles and debris"

Congrats on school. Take a break to concentrate on your studies. I had a hard enough time concentrating on Paramedic school and maintaining a tank, don't want to think about trying to do it during med school... You will be back with avengeance when you are done with all the $$$ you will be...

Flex line as much of your return as you can, you will thank us later. I run a combo hard/flex but that's because I run a manifold with my return, less pumps=less electricity and heat. From my experience, gate valves>ball valves. More adjustability and you can completely take them apart to...

May have just found the light for my 26g bowfront build I want to do.... AI LED for not much more than T5 for the coverage/size....

IMO, nano fish in a 150 sounds kinda weird, but cool at the same time. I agree with peter though, if you get pairs of nano fish, they might find their own sections of the tank to call home and almost be like a bunch on nano tanks all in one big tank.

Welcome to the dysfunctional reefing family. I would drill the back not the bottom. When you do set up, take your time.

could always do 2 10g, linked together with bulkheads...

Wish the 60" were part of this!
