Curious if you have your return up into your overflow box? If so did you go with a dual durso? bean animal? If I was you I would go with a herbie.

Also I would consider putting a 1/2 - 3/4 plywood on the back of your stand to save your wall and paint to wherever you're placing your tank. If you do that which I highly suggest you should plumb your pvc against that back wall to save space and have a somewhat cleaner look.

I would place the ball valve somewhere more accessible from under in your sump area might be tough reaching for that in a panic. (its happened)

Also on your drains in your sump the down spout direct it right to the bottom maybe 3'' from the bottom to reduce splash and salt creep.

Yea after I'm done with the plumbing I'm going to close it all in with wood and make it look good, as for the returns there is 2 drilled holes on each end of the tank so the pump will plumb up to the returns there, and yea i was thinking about the placement of the ball valves but i can reach it from the side of the tank so ill see what i can figure out
