to be honest I used a 6500 lph pump on my 6500 lph overflow but needed to do a few modifications.
at present i have a flow valve at the return pump.
If i was doing it again the best option would be to get a pump rated higher than the box like you have mentioned 700gph for a 600gph and if the return flow is too high use the flow tap on the return pump to adjust it to suit
Yes this is normal, as they mature the change colour and turn a dusty brown colour all over. Its unfortunate as they end up very plain looking in comparison to how they look as a juvenille
Looks great. Is this an acrylic tank? How do you clean it without scratching? I would recommend adding a combination of Turbo, Astrea, Cerinth, and Nerite snails to battle the hair algae. Another option would be to put a layer of aquarium putty on top to smother it while adding some live rock on the putty.
just set everything up on my 75 gal. tank on sat. i put live sand, & rock in how long till i can add fish? & corals also

ya they are good allright but the other half didnt like them in it so I removed them again.
she thought they took up too much room in the tank so i am not looking to get something tidier like a vortech

Are those 12000lph wave makers any good?
I want a nice circulation in my 50gallon, would this type work well?

its a glass tank 10mm thick, i use a magnet cleaner for cleeaning the front glass and evry few weeks a blade and a rough sponge for the back.
i have the mixture of snails mentioned and several mixed hermits, black and white, blue, red and brown but still algae remains.
