since this is short term, wouldn't it be easier to just add an extra power head instead of changing the plumbing?

Thanks Tonya! It seems as if I filled my own box. Lets see about working on your plumbing next weekend? Box cleared.

Beefy, are you going to be home this weekend? I am probably going to be in the area.

thanks....i have an issue though...
I had matt at shotank hold off on my order so i could do some research...

my issue is this:
If i get a 220 it comes with a center brace (meaning i'll have a light directly above the friggin brace), BUT i get the corner overflows i wanted
If i get a 210 it comes with 2 braces, BUT i don't get the corner overflows

HELP!!?!?!?! OPINIONS!?!??!?!?

I like the overflows on the back better than the corner overflows anyways. If you are going to run 3 lights which on a 6 foot tank, you need to IMO, the center brace would be a bad, bad thing.

I personally would do the 210 so you can have the lights between the braces. Unless the corner overflows are that important, I would go that route.

I think i'm leaning towards the 210....

FYI....I started a thread on this...."220 vs 210"
