Default 120gal Opti-white

Finally my new tank has arrived. This new tank has a dual external overflow system with a custom 80gal sump/refugium. The display tank was built with Opti-white glass which is supposed to be clearer than some Starphire (some starphire tends to have a slightly blue tinge)As a return pump I ended up chosing a Sequence Reeflo Dart. Powerheads consist of two Tunze Nanostream 6045s (keeping my fingers crossed on the powerheads because there is so much confusing feedback regarding quality and problems on all products...everyone has a different opinion or experiance. So here's the first of my pictures. I'll keep updating with progress

Default Dart

Thanks to Mark for letting me check out Dart pump before picking out mine. Managed to get most of my plumbing done yesterday so I ran the pump into an overflow and back into the sump. This pump sure is quiet.

Tanks look so nice when they are brand new!

I like the overflows, how are you going to set them up?

Default overflows

Well each overflow has a hole for a 1+1/2" drain and a 1" return so I was considering a durso overflow set up in each. Are there any other available options?
