Great looking tank!!

I've always been on the fence about u-tube overflows. Never had great luck with them and the noise gets on my nerves even after I've messed with it a bit to try and get it to stop.

Also see you've taken the saying "never underestimate how much water movement you need in a tank" quite literally. I need to upgrade my own water movement.

I am curious, what made you decide to go with a bare bottom set up?

Again, looks great!
