i like those little guys alot.... also "no filteration is better then a well designed sump" it will be easier in the long run and your fish will look nicer

So audi your saying I should go just under gravel and filter? I was thinking 2x901 which turn about 936gph and two FX5 sometime down the road? What do you think?

umm no i hate undergravel filters.. i would drill the tank or do an over flow box with a well designed sump and baffles. i would also run a canister filter or 2 for chemical filteration... my reef tank has a well designed sump and my 120 cichla tank has 1 fx5.. i think i am soon going to run the fx5 as all chemical and make a sump as well since the tank is reef ready

Nice. my 150 is reef ready and it is already on a sump. I wasent to keen on drilling it (240g). Is there any other way I could get way with this without drilling?

So I need advice on what the best black sand would be? And I am also looking for the best P bass set up I can get. Ie.. flow and water current being the optimal result for this size tank. I want to creat a flow that is strong enough for them to get exercise. Any thought's Ideas?

i bought my black moon sand from Dr.s foster and smith great looking stuff

Ok so I should be more then good with the 2x1200 then. Thanks for the advice. And I already found a Twist UV light. Now all I need is the sump. How big of a sump would you think I would need? Or maybe I could do a DIY 2x55sump.?!?!?!

i use 2 125 gal tanks for my sumps and 2 3400 gph pumps

Yea that was my original thought also man but i was also thinking 100g - 125g sump (Bio). And I have a Ehiem prof. use that in addition to the Fx5, and Two 901 PH. on the oppisite(S) side of the tank from the return to the sumps. But i wanted to ask you should I drill the returns in the corner or the middle?

I really don't want to drill at all. So also how can I pull that off anybody? Maybe a DIY return bar at the top side? Tank will be sitting sticking out 10ft w/stand and canopy with the tank running long ways with no one side panel facing the wall and the other facing my Kitchen entry.
