    lighting is a good thing. Fire shrimp, Cleaner shrimp, star fish(sea stars). Ph or alkalinity monitor, wavemaker-donate to 3reef. Or you could donate to me so I can imploy metal halide lights on my 75gal reef tank... My corals would thank you especially!

    Diver, i have an RO/DI unit and it works great 25gal but i dont need more that that since i dont change my water but once every three months.

    I have been looking to upgrade my pump for i just found out that it only pumps about 400gph i thought it was 750gph but with head and 90degree's boy that just does not cut it. I have been looking at the Mag-Drive 18 which is 1800gph but at 5' and a 90degree it will be 1125gph. My only concern is that my overflow might not handle it. On a 90gal all-glass i have read that the maxium is only 680gph. What is the true max on a one mega overflow on a 90gal.

    Also what other pumps does anyone else suggest over the Mag-drive 18?
