Spazz,

I have followed your hosptial tank build and noted that you are using surges on that tank. Do you feel that the main tank needs to be over built to accomodate the additional stress that surge devices put on a tank as apposed to powerheads?
I bring this up because I was running three Tunze Waveboxes on my 600g tank built which is built out of 1" acrylic and could actually hear the tank flexing as the water rocked from end to end.
