The tank is 180 gal acrylic tank (72x24x24).

Specs are as follows:

Stand: 74 L x 25 1/2 D x 31 H
Wet/Dry Filter CPR CR3000 (400 gal Capacity)
Pump - Mag Drive 18 (1800 gph)
UV - Aqua UV 25W

Note: Pipe used was 1" to give it a better boost on the pumping water. Have 2 outputs on both ways.

Drains are two 1" pipe drains to the wet/dry then to the sump.
Return: Mag Drive has 3/4" but I had it converted to 1" then it goes back to the tank on straight 1" pipe splitting on two 3/4" .

Hopefully this will eliminate my spending on filter medias. :D
