I know everyone has been waiting for some pictures of the design but here are a couple from early on in the design. The design should be fully complete by January 5th!

Just out of curiosity, why are you using that type of overflow rather than a coast-to-coast and a Bean Animal style?

Wondering the same as rybren. What diameter are those drains going to be to handle the flow needed? Maybe your figuring in a closed loop for extra flow...need more pics!

Never really was a fan of the animal bean style and I have a little bit more freedom with 4 PVC intake pipes leading into the sump with all the reactors and skimmer. Those pics are not posted yet though! This is only a design. Some stuff may change as I build the actual tank.

Hey Everyone! Here is a few more updated pics on the design!

So all four of those holes are drains? What's the plan for returns? Do you have an equipment list???

I like the handy woman in there for scale! Awesome tank.

Thanks! And yeah. the 4 drains a 2 inch PVC pipe. The return may consist of 2 pumps returning the water back to the tank. I dont know yet where the return pipes are going on the tank yet.
