jnarowe,

Thanks for the info. The external overflow will be built into the tank by James at Envision. In essence it's still part of the tank, but doesn't take up any of the 96X30X30 footprint. I tried to look up exactly what it looks like, but the server volume is too high here on RC right now. If you get the chance check out a tank by Fursphere. I basically took the idea from his tank and it will be about the same with 2, 1 1/2" drains. Going to use a stockman design! It's real close to the idea on the 1st link you posted.

As far os the planted tank goes I lived by the estimative dosing routine and subscribbed to the Barr Report. After I followed his advised my problems went down to very managable levels. When I set the 125 back up as planted, I will howver, be skipping MH lighting. I'm going to switch over to PC and keep the color a little closer to white and slow the growth. With nearly 5 wpg if I missed one day of dosing, I knew it!
