With lots of bends and the 600 lbs in the sand filter I really don't know the flow rate. Try aquaticeco.com or jaccuzzi's website for that information.Crana;472124; said:Thanks for all the info so far, here are few more questions and I'm sure there will be more.
What's the flow rate, GPH, on your 3HP jaccuzzi pump?
What did your panes of glass weigh?
What type of silocone did you use? What is the size of the angle iron you used to conect the tubings? I am thinking of going with tubing all the way. Would it be possible for you to find out the thickness of the tubing you used?
I look forward to your update on the filtration system.
My tank will also be L shaped. The back dimensions will be 30ft. on the short section and 40ft. on the long section. The viewing width on the long section will be 28ft. and 16ft. on the short. The hight, water level, will be 11ft. and depth, front to back, will be 14ft. on the long side and 12ft. on the short section. I'm not sure when I'll start construction but I'll post it.
I am planning on putting in as many if not all the cichlids of Belize in here as well as Tarpon, and a few others. All wild caught local species.

Still trying to get the Mike the welder to get the guage.
Good tank dimensions and selection of fish. It will be great to see your pictures.
