No that is where the overflow's are going to run into. Going to fill it with LR Rubble, the water will then run over baffle into refugium, then into skimmer 1, then into skimmer 2, then into dual phosban compartment & finally into return compartment that I think will have some more LR. Flow is clockwise.

oops. I meant the 3' space on the other side of the pump.

not sure yet, might do a dosing set-up down the road. I also have to find a place to put the 3' 30W UV I got with the tank. In the fisrt 6" of the stand from the left I am building a water proof electrical panel with all my shut off switch's and what not's.

Also have not decided if the pump is going to sit the way it is in the previous pic or turn it 90 degree's like this.

wow dream tank build i have like the smaller scale of yours lol the 17g version im hoping to have space soon to build an 8' to 10' tank and shallow gonna be following this one.
cant wait to see this one turn out

Looks Great (from a fellow Welders perspective)

It will be a sweet set-up if it all works out the way I have it planned. Going from a 6' 155gal to this can't wait until it's done.

its really starting to look good greg.im sure glad we took that ugly silicone out of that tank though. it was really bugging me. haha.

tks for the temporary hex tank while im getting my new tank figured.

PIC'S :boink:

:grab:

Nothing new to report, I have to get the bulk heads in so I can figure out the plumbing. Drill a hole in the sump for the retun. As soon as I get more done I will post some pic's.

REALLY NEED MY 155 BOW FRONT TO SELL SO I CAN FINISH THIS ONE AND GET IT RUNNING

Lights are to be shipped out tomorrow, should see them in a week or so.
