What size is the display tank. Also, what do you plan to keep in the way of corals? I have seen the Hydor powerheads at Kingfish and they look like a great little pump. John seemed to be happy with the one they are trying out.

I have a shelf built into my sump with a hole cut to fit the sock. I turn it inside out and wash it in the washing machine in cold water with no soap. Here is a pic: -

You will want more flow in the tank than you want in the sump. That is why most people use powerheads or closed loops. I think 600 gph will be plenty. I would put it in the center of the tank if you have random flow or on one end and have the flow pointing towards it. You could have your return nozzle on one end and a powerhead on the other both pointing toward the center. I use a filter sock in my sump and love it. Just be sure to clean it at least once a week. -

I would return your Skimmer drain back into the overflow section of the sump in case of bubbles. 1200 GPH thru your sump is a lot. Usually 5x turnover of your tank volume is recommended. So on a 75g tank that is about 400 gph. Some people do more but you lose contact time for your skimmer. If it is an external skimmer you might look into feeding it with the overflow instead of using a pump. HTH -
I had both the CSS-65 and the 220. Do NOT use them as a hang-on. They will overflow from time to time. That said I think they are an OK skimmer for the price. However, since upgrading to the ER I am getting twice the skimmate and denser muck. I know nothing about the PM.

It has been quiet. Maybe some people are letting the changes get finished before they get going again.

What part of town are you in? I might be able to swing by this evening and help you. Call me at 657-5472 -
Cool. I am glad it is doing good.

I don't QT either. I have had some success with heavy feeding and soaking the food in Garlic extract. I have had a couple fish kick the Ich and a couple just plain kick it, so take that however you want. Of course, the 2 I lost to Ich were both Tangs.
