Should be OK,

I recently went to 2 6500k's (Geissman Daylight), 1 10,000k, and 1 Geissman Aqua Flora. The wife and I both like it a lot.
I scaled the weekly dose from a 3 day scheme to spread over 7 days. I have a re-purposed medical dosing pump that delivers a 24 hr/day continuous drip so I leave it running 24-7. It's a PITA (at...
Update: Here
I've got to go with LeftC and Gerry. I'm afraid you'll be sorry with the purchase. An ol' buddy of mine was always saying 'you can go cheap or you can go long; but you can't do both'.
Here's a...
I'll try to give you a PM to help next time. As I said I've had a new version, for a little while, that I haven't posted but I've been busy with other things and just haven't gotten around to it. ...
I think this is the most up to date version available.

If you have access to MS Excel I have a spreadsheet that'll do that. I've made some changes since I last posted it so let me know and I'll put the new version up.

You're probably not concerned but, you are aware that the tempered bottom cannot be drilled for bulkheads aren't you?
Found this on G-threads:

If your going submerged you might do better with something like Eheim Ehfisubstrat Pro or Seachem Matrix. These are intended for submerged use. Upward flow shouldn't be an issue unless the material...
I'm work with a 90g for the DT so I'm splitting the 1" output from the return pump with a true wye down to two 3/4" tubes over the back wall, then to a tee down to two 1/2" LocLine nozzles for a...
A ball valve is too coarse, you really need the control of a gate valve. Check out the attached pic and ignore the piping coming out the bottom. The shorter internal pipe is the primary drain. It...
With head loss that 1250 will flow down in the neighborhood of 220-240 with no twists, turns, unions and such. Here's a link to the Reef Central Head Loss Calculator
FWIW on the CS102 set up as a...
Here's a pic I took during the mod.

The shorter stand pipe on the left is the primary and...
I modded an Eshopps PF-800 to run as a Herbie. Drilled for a second bulkhead but a stock PF-1000 or a two drain CPR (eg CS102)will work out of the box, set the standpipe for the primary drain just...
I drilled for a second bulkhead in an Eshopps PF-800 and implemented a Herbie. The only PITA is getting to the gate valve behind the tank. Works great.

Get a two drain overflow and set it up Herbie style. I'm not 100% done with my sump change over but I have tested my Herbie modded overflow and all I can hear is the pump. You also get a huge flow...
Just FYI. That dose of CSM+B solution adds right at 0.65ppm Fe into 100L.
The FLV-402 has roughly the same flow as the Fabco with the Fabco @100 SFCH (47.210 lpm 47,210 ccm per the chart Here). Caveat being the Fabco has that flow @ 80 psi and the Omega is spec'ed @250...
If you can find the Fabco or the Ideal that would be best. If you go with the Banjo style be aware we've only been discussing mechanics and there is very little data on the performance. Flow rates,...
That check valve serves US no function. It ALLOWS free unrestricted flow back from the tank. You don't want that. You still need a separate check valve down stream of the needle valve to block...
This is a valve used in industry to control the speed of pneumatic cylinder operation. Usually there is a solenoid feeding each end of the piston. These valves are installed on the cylinder ports...
