The light actuator is sick! You have definitely inspired me to try this on a slightly smaller scale.

Hello, if you don't mind me asking how far down from the top edge of your tank is the return bulkheads? I'm in the process of getting a tank built and I'm using the ghost overflow as well . Thanks!!Here are some teasers to start, then I will proceed with the story of the Journey of the Black Pearl
I've been in contact with RS and they told me it'd be about 6 months from when I put a deposit down on the tank.
I just sent mine in yesterday. They told me the same thing about 6-7 months. Let's hope that is reality and not a year. I can't wait that long..

They told me the same. I ordered mine in June 2015. Still waiting. Be sure you are patient if you order ....

By the way, Black Pearl, I fell in love with your Look Down metal art and I cannot resist copying you. It's perfect for my room, so please don't be mad!

Time to make the connection, plumbing the tank to the sump. So now we are in the Now and the most dreaded part for me. Especially since I'm trying to do a bean animal on a dual ghost overflow and everywhere I cut is a support stud for my coffered ceiling then the wall between the sump and the tank has a return vent for the HVAC so I've got to figure out how to route the drain lines and return line around these..... hey didn't I say something earlier in this thread about obstacles

Oh, we really need pix of your bean animal plumbing artwork inside the reef savvy overflow!

This build will be phenomenal!! I can't wait to see it up and running! You'll overcome these obstacles! I'm sure it gets frustrating, but stay focused and it'll all be worth it in the long run!Time to make the connection, plumbing the tank to the sump.

Ain't that the truth
Final configuration of dual BA. Box on the right straight through the wall easy breezy, left box PITA. It's off set way to the left in orientation to the sump. Feared too many turns in the OC for it to function properly. the OC on the left which is the one on the end of the box. The ED is in the middle and should stay dry, so the twist and turns should not be a factor, especially since the ED on the right box is straight through to the sump, now to glueing in place
