I was thinking of using the ends for all my plumbing but I have to decide if I should put the returns on one end and creat a large currant accross the tank or if I chould have returns on both ends ect..
as for the tank I am going to see how much IA will charge for what I want and I will also concider building it myself. I need to figure out how large of glass I have to go to so I can go "Braceless" also.

Regarding the glass thing with IA steve. You have to remember that Starphire only comes as thick as 1/2" If you have funky dimensions on your tank or want to go braceless then the price goes up huge. the reason for this is not the price of the starphire but it's the fact that they have to laminate two 1/2" pieces together to make the right size glass. I have been to their shop and the laminating is goergous but it's just the cost to have it done.. they don't do it themselves. Now I know you have yet to mention starphire but I though I would bring up this little tidbit of knowledge.
I found this out because I wanted a 30" high tank and 30 to 36" wide but it's not possible without going up with your glass size and therefore increasing the cost huge of the the tank.
