excellent work Troy,as always.....great to see you back to doing what you do best,I hadn't heard from you in a while,how's things going with work and all ?
 
Yup all acrylic tanks...:) when I get a little time I will explain more how it's gonna work...
I was faced with a few issues like height and width etc... Also minimal plumbing so the top tanks will drain to the center and the center tanks to the bottom and the bottom to the sump... With a return feeding all the top tanks etc... Arr spent the last 8 hours putting this together in my head... But I see it haha...

Just a heads up from my own experience: those bottom two tiers of tanks will be nothing more than settling tanks for the crud from the layer(s) above. Flow in those layers will be more crucial than in ordinary tanks. From an ideal stand point of draining water to a filter it's a poor design (again, from my experience - not critiquing you), but when it's gotta be, it's gotta be. Forewarned is fore-armed! :)

Good luck!
