just got the cad drawing...tank gonna have 3 inch brace going along top with two 4 inch braces front to back.
The returns will be at the intersection of the two cross bars at back of tank making returns push water down the middle back wall...then gyre pushing to the over flow box...
With two other gyres pushing water down the other two areas of back wall.
so far the plan but can change once its wet..
Making the overflow on the left with three 23 inch x 30 openings across the top.
perfect for me to make 3 polycarbonate screens and let me put 3 ATI Starton X lights when ever they become avail here in us.
Tank should be done in a month.
Going to cut off the seam damage part of the 300 and make a 5 foot x 30 x 18 inch sump out of it..

Yeah it actually came out surprisingly well. It was like a garlic sweet soy sauce beef and broccoli with white rice. I have to eat gluten free which limited some options but I was happy with it. Made enough for tomorrow too.

Sorry, I have to go with the Big Ten. Indiana’s quarterback Mandoza grew up just miles from the stadium they are playing at. He his first choice was to play for Miami but they didn’t take him.

yeah, you should see if anyone near you want to split ship cost and do a really big order. I think Kev will be thinking about ordering stuff soon.
