oh last note...been planning the 6ftx4ftx30 acylic tank to replace the 300 !!!! Not sure if I want two external box overflows or two internal box overflow...Give up tank space to get close to wall or not...I guess 4 feet wide with a 5 inch internal box across the entire back will be ok. gives me 42 inch inside measurement cause of 4 inch box and 1 inch thick front and back sides. (6 inch total loss) not sure ..sharing so you can chime in your thoughts...Ciao

I've always had external.
Gives a lot more room IMO.

Got my order from Dinkins should I add the entire gallon of the snacklebox to my sump at once?
It should have come with directions, I add the pods directly to my DT after lights out with my wave maker off for a short period to allow them to get into the rock and sand.

It did but it didn't specify if I should add all of the bottles at once. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Up to you. I add one bottle today and one tomorrow when I get two but they starve pretty quickly so if the water is clear I'd add both today.

Anyone know where I could get something kind of like this that I could hang red sea lights from? The frame of my tank is too wide for the normal mounts.

Is your husband mechanically inclined? He can probably build something like that. @Gtinnel built one for his Noopsyches I believe.

He can build a house from the ground up and he said he could but he wants to brace it off the stand and I don't like the idea of it running down the sides of the tank...
