Today I picked up a Sequence pump for my closed loop and a new sump. It is interesting gathering together all of the bits and pieces while anxiously awaiting the delivery of the tank itself.

Fortunately for me, when I remodeled our living room I ran 4 new 20amp circuits in there. Two of them are for the exclusive use of the tank.

I did. 24"wide and 30" deep. If you are referring to 30" front to back, I don't have the room to do it.

I like the closed loop idea for a clean look. Powerheads are too bulky in the tank. I just ordered my 300g starphire Leemar tank and it is going to be drilled for a closed loop. I'll probably be...

How hard was it to hide the supports for your PVC rock racks? I put some in my 135g and didn't do a good enough job of hiding them. Those that see it say it looks good but they drive me nuts.
