Vectra L1 would be more than enough i’m only using about 900 gph.

I think the new gyres would be perfect I would love to see a video of it when up and running.

Thanks dude will be sure to get it all documented when I set it up.
Should take me considerably longer to cycle since I'm going with dry rock so theres still a few things I'm trying to figure out which is alright I still have about 3 weeks.

Question to any WB7226 owner? How far are the overflow drain lines from the end of the tank? I ask because I’m planning to use the tank and not the stand but don’t want the stand I’m using to interfere with the drain / return lines. Hopefully this question makes sense

Not sure what you’re asking for. Are you asking me to measure something for you? From where to where?

Yeah if it’s possible for you to measure that would be great! The peninsula end with the overflow in it, how far in from the outside edge of the glass are the holes drilled in the bottom? Say the edge of the holes is X” from the outside edge? Their stand has a hole in the flat platform that those drain lines and return run through I want to know how wide of a support I can have at the wall end of the tank without it interfering with the drain lines?

Got my lid from @Top Lids today. Very nice and sturdy

The length is a little too long and would not lay flat without some elbow grease so I’ll have to recheck why it’s that way when I get home.

how are you liking your top lid? I was looking at them for my RS 750 but ended up going with one large top. I am jelly that you tank take 1 of 3 pieces off at a time, or am I miss understanding it?

About 2-3 weeks but this was when the 7226 just came out so I’m assuming it should be faster for you

Yes I divided it into 3 parts. At first I made a one piece design but @Top Lids suggested To divide it for maintaining and saves you some money on shipping. They’ll give you good inputs on your design.

Can't wait to receive our 6026 shipped 7/3/19 should be interesting been 20 years since our last one and things have changed. The wife wants to go fish only with Dry rock but that could change.
