Background: Bought new house with unfinished basement, have had multiple tanks started with a 90g that I inherited from my father. sold that after a year to upgrade to a 135g. while waiting for the space to put it up I started a 40g breeder. now I'm going to go all out to a 270 being built by Jason at Clear Fabrications
72x36x24 main tank 48x24x?16? sump drilled for two CL - 4 returns on front and four in back 2x1.5" drains f 2xreturns for 1"sea swirls 2xtunze 6100's with multicontroller Thoughts still? skimmer: ATI Bubblemaster? lights: T-5's sfligoi? I'll get the pictures downloaded today hopefully of the before and after of the den/fishroom. as I finished the flooring this week and painted the walls and installed cabinets. |

Re: Flathead 270g
Very interested in seeing how your returns are configured in the tank.
Is this already up and running or just getting put together? |

Re: Flathead 270g
Do you have a link to those T5 lites Kyle. I am seriously contemplating about the 180, since it is going to be softies.
I know Kevin is using a couple T5 actinics on his cubes and display in his store. He really likes them. |
