Otty did you run a 10/2 line over from the panel box ? If so thats great then you can put a junction box in there and feed from that to the pumps and then to a timer then to the lights that will run away with your tank.. Quote:

Did you get my e-mail on the dual pumps? You were talking about a different way then the spray bars but I am not following you very well on that ideal. Can you jot it down on paper and scan it for posting on here or just e-mail it to me so I can understand what you are talking about. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

Here is a sketch of how I am proposing the Ocean Motions valve, anyone see a problem or a better way? I will start drilling this weekend on the side glass so I can get this thing it its place.

I tend to look for threads that have been overlooked in favor of threads that have a lot of attention. Unfortunately, this means that I sometimes miss out on a good thread.
Looks awesome Otty!!! _________ Curt  | |

Otty,
You've done so much research so I don't want to throw a monkey wrench into it at all. I just wanted to show you another possibility. One of my friends has an Ocean's Motion and he said he likes everything but the power cost.
Here's another option if you wanted to go two-way. It's Scott's (szidls) Motorized Ball Valve. http://www.3reef.com/forums/attachme...oop-small-.jpg | |

My sump return with be a 1800gph and I haven't decited where I am goning to return that water to, maybe some Wavysea's or something on each end. The lines coming into the tank will be 1" and then reduce down to a 3/4" at the T's and a Loc-Line spout so I can have some adjustment on where I want my flow in cast I put a coral that needs extra flow or none at all.
