    Hi!! I'm A New Member To This Wonderful Site. I Have Decided To Restart Fishkeeping After A Bad Experience With My Old Tank Approximately Four Years Ago. It Was A 1000l Tank That Literally Burst On Me After The First Top-up.not A Nice Experience. I Now Have A 275l Tank Dimensions 1000mm X 500 X 650mm(l X W X H), Made With 10mm Glass. Could Someone Assure Me That I Won't Have The Same Problem. Second Question I Have Is:i Intend Running A Leng Sy Ecosystem Reef Aquarium And Would Like To Know The Flow Rate Of My Pump In My Sump Return To The Main Tank. Live In South Africa And The Reefkeeping Hobby Here Is A Very Expensive One.

    Is this a production aquarium from a manufacturer or a custom built tank?

    As for the flow rate on ecosystem, this is what I found:

    I used to help build custom aquariums but that was back in 1993 so my memory is a little foggy on glass thickness, maybe someone else can chip in here.

    Regardless, welcome to 3reef!
