Well got my holes drilled today. thanks to doug for lending a helping hand. 2 drains will fit 1 1/2 bulkhead and returns 2 x 3/4.

Just curious but what return pump would you reccomend for this. i havent started to plumb or found a tank for a sump yet but thinking i would like to slowley get things started.

Primary and emerg drains are center drilled and and set for a 1 1/2 bulk head and there is 1 3/4 returns in each corner.

Any suggetions.?

Just wondering about bio load and such at this point. i am considering a small school of something and maybe acouple rabbit fish and and a CBB. I would like to know if there is a inches per gallon rule or how this is calculated?

Also still looking for suggestions on a pump i should mention that it will have about 5 feet of head and i want about 800-1100 between the two returns.

Will add pick off empty drilled tank.

I am running the OceanRunner 6500 on my 75.. gives me 1150GPH on my return at about 4-5 foot head loss. You could probably get the 900-1000gph area with the extra tank size.

As for the inch per gallon rule, I pretty much scrapped that guideline when I got into SW. It very much depends on what you stock, how heavy you are skimming, territorial issues, etc...
