Ya I tryn to do some form of bubble trap and can't decide on one mt two baffles after Skimmer compartment. I doing plumbing tomorrow after I get done at fire department. Let's see how badly that goes.
Two will work better on cutting down on micro bubbles.

Well this build sure is going a lot slower than I had hoped. I couldn't put third baffle in because it would leave no room for my ato. Crossing my fingers hope to get plumbing done tomorrow hint hint rocky pride :LOL:

You did put in three! One question, can you get that bulkhead in still? The one that goes to the return pump? Looks a little tight from the pic.

I'll see about some free time, school is killing me.

Got 3-250metal halides. Hope they don't heat up the tank to much. I never used halides before. Any input. It open canopy and plan on a clip on fan or something

Open canopy or none would be better. I had 2x250w over my 55 and it was plumbed through the wall into another big open roi. And was using a stock yank for a sump I would hit 81 during the winter

Just use fans and you should be good. However I know of a chiller for sale cheep that was on a 150 if you are in need of one.

Might have to get a chiller but with top being open I will try the fans first. Do they need to be big fans or will computer fans work. I want it as pleasing to eye as possible
