The Vulcan DSV is where it is at! Good choice.

 

Yeah I dont want to have any issues. Plus it looks like the Vulcan V is a cleaner setup. Have you seen the gravity feed ones for about $165. They looked sharp but didnt want to spend another 100 after all ive spent in the last 3 days.

 

I thought about a sump as well, but as you said they cost more. Plus there is now a 2.5 - 3" bulge below the tank. VDS is clean, practical, and cost efficient.
