Marlin65 6' Drop tank build.
I have been reefing for some time now and I think this will be my last upgrade build in this house. I have a old house that I have taken some walls out of, and I think I have the perfect spot for a room divider, So here we go.
 I will transfer out all of my 75 gal Cube and most of my 150 into this new tank. I really like the Drop Tank look so am going to do that with a bit of a twist to get the look. I will run a closed loop on a Ocean Motion and a Hammerhead pump. Return will be a Dart for now. I am doing my own LED lights and tank is all 12mil tempered. I took some great ideas from others.  Thanks all of you I am sure you will see.So my stand is done and I just started putting the tank together, Here is some pictures to get stared. Have to repaint my kitchen and living room in stages and the wife wants a few new things to complete the space as well but here we go.

Put up the sides today and got my light finished to test it and see what it looks like.

I think it's the other way haahaa! Probably stack rock in the middle and have the two sides "drop" away.

rickcasa has it right.
I plan to fill the two sides with a DSB. I was going to fill them all the way with sand, but recommended depth for DSB is 6" max so I will put some plenums in at about 5" the center part will have rocks to the top of the DSB and I will place my corals up from that in the center. I have the 4 way running under the rocks so should have good flow in the center section.
