Tank bottom picture

Thanks for the replys, it makes sense what you guys are saying. Although I still think I would prefer 4 side inputs 2 high/2 low for circulation.

I recognize an OM 4 way setup anywhere....

I also see that the bulkheads are installed backwards, and siliconed in. My experience is that bulkheads leak when installed that way, so the silicon is probably pretty important here.

bulkheads installed that way is asking for some trouble. a hard bump or slightest movement will break the silicone seal and dump the entire content of the tank to the ground.

Another top down picture (fr here).

Is that tile and grout inside the tank?

Appears the tile is on the stand (see second picture from link).

Wouldn't it need foam between the tank and the stand?

It depends what size tank you have. A tank that is 4' or less is quite fine with only one output and one return. Put them both up high, one on the left side one on the right side of the back pane. Use Loc-Line to direct the return flow down and to the front, and voilâ you have a circular water flow in the tank!
