    Sorry for the typo - that should have been Tunze 6015. The aquascaping restricts quite a bit of flow (similar to my 17 gallon Frag tank, which due to the extensive racking requires an MP-40 running at 80% ReefCrest.)

    The Tunze 6015 only puts out ~475 GPH and with the dense aquascaping, it creates a gentle, laminar flow around the tank. The MP-10 (200GPH-1574GPH) will run at the lower output will create opposite flow. It seems like a lot, but due to the shape of the tank, design of the aquascaping and the fact that the pumps will be creating opposing flow - I don't think it will end up being overkill <fingers crossed.>

    If it doesn't work, I'll just replace the Tunze with the Vortech.

    I managed to get about 80% of the Frag plugs removed, things are looking a bit cleaner. Sorry for the poor quality photos, everything was closed or slimed from the manhandling. I haven't completed the reverse side yet. I'll get some better photos with flash taken next week to better show the colors. once things has settled in...

    AC70 with the InTANK media insert. I still have to modify the top to accommodate cut-outs for the heater and probes. You can also see the surface skimmer to the right.
