New Setup / Build

Hi

So after much research and advice this is where I think I am headed for my Tanganyikan and Cat tank.

Any advice / opinions are welcome, I do like the overstocked look so please take that into consideration.

Tank 6L x 2W x 2.5H Normal glass, 12mm, black back

Black Polyurethane Sprayed Cabinet 

Sump tank 5ft fully submerged style, or 4ft if it won't fit

Matrix or Bact-rox bio media and various mech/foam media. Bit lost on chem media, never used it.

Ghost overflow w/ Bean Animal drainage - 32mm

Ecomarine Vectra L1, running at about 75 - 80%, should be around 6500LpH

(I did consider the Vectra M1 but I didn't want to run the pump at 100% and I think it might be a bit close for the total amount of water I have plus head pressure.)

Make My Leds  180cm Pro Plant Panel 60deg w/ auto contoller

Coral sand 1-3mm substrate and plenty of rocks.

Maspect Gyre 130, if I can't get the right flow in the tank with the sump pump and plumbing.

And then the fun begins.
