Re: Going to look at the 180....
I wasn't sure about the pump either, but everything is brand new, so I figured what the hell. The tank is made by Miracles, I'm not sure if they are popular in the states, but they are pretty much the main choice for serious reef peeps up here. Glass is 3/4 thick, and holes are 1.5 I believe

Re: Going to look at the 180....
Alright! welcome to the 180 crew!
 That is no joke those things are heavy. you will definately need to recruit some good help. I have only moved mine once bare bottom and it was still super heavy. other 2 times has been with sand in it. that made it much worse. last move was 6 of us lifting it through a chest high bedroom window that was 25 1/5 inches wide. talk about a close fit!

Re: Going to look at the 180....
Congratulations.
That pumps kind of a personal choice,IMO.Some people like more flow through the sump.My self,I like a slower flow through mine.Gives the skimmers a little more time to do their thing.
