Hey blinks thanks for getting back to me! I like the sounds of coast to coast but as this tank is going to be viewable from the sides I don't want to be able to see the overflow box from the side. Does it make sense to stop it 6" short on either side and just make the tank a little deeper to accommodate the box, so it doesn't have to be external? And from my research it looks like the bean-animal overflow comes in from the back not the bottom. Can I do this style from the bottom as well? I am not well versed in overflows. I will need to a little more research but I think it would work. Coming in from the back would work too but the tank will be euro braced so I don't really want an external overflow box. I don't have anything yet for the new system so I on,y have some pictures of my current one. Now this tank has run for 3 years has been moved twice, is really loud and runs with nothing but a refugium. But here is a shot or two.

All taken with iPhone and posted from iPad so sorry about sizing/quality. And as for Kalk reactors I take it you don't like pump mixed reactors as they mix a little to violently? To save on a little more research do you know a Canadian retailer for Deltec? And while we are on it the Profilux controller. Still on the fence with this or an Apex.
Thanks again blinks and everyone lending a helping hand!
