I hope that will be enough to keep things cool, time will tell. Quote:

Tangster, and Jason McKenzie has been helping me out with the design, couldn't have done it (right) without their help.  I'll keep you posted with pics as I progress. | Otty if you use that 4 way oceans motion with dual pump no spray bars will be needed Beside the bars are just an eye sore with the way you are mounting the tank there will stick out like a sore thumb.. But if you want to use them get the sch. 80 gray pipe and fittings and I can send you a how to so they will not be all that visible. I hate to see pips sticking all into a tank (: when you get to this level that is.. Like with our clients when we set up a $ 35,000.00 and Plus turn key job people don't want to see pipes (: After 200 gallons the game changes (:

Good luck on the new home, you will feel a lot better putting your money on something you own and not someones elses. | Hahahahahahaha Hahahahaha Yea thats what I once thought when I got my first 280 tank LOL then it was a 450 then a 500 then a 750 and then thank god I had a near life ending auto accident and had to give them away and sold the 750 and 550 flat out Its called Tank Crack.. LOL Now I install them after the sale (: Since I can't ply my trades any longer this is my now line of work .. Watch out! It could Be just the beginning.. Like the 180 I brought up here hell its near full and the corals all came from a small 40 gallon flat back hex I just set up as a fill Gap type deal last December 05 LOL.. I now think maybe a 280 would have been better ? LOL
