Nice looking build!  Looks like you rubbed a few people the wrong way making comments about "fake" drop offs.  

  I think the box in a box is a much safer design, I'm not sure I would trust that stress point in 
my house!  I will happily watch 
your thread though!  Hehe.  Your pipes are noisy because of your drain design.  Dual drains for Herbie overflow would be 
dead silent.  I have Herbies one 3 tanks now, won't do it any other way.
