Sorry for the late pics


Half built tank before I ran into a glass snafu. The coast to coast overflow has 5 returns that will be plumbed through it.


Sump area and a couple of pumps. The water will travel over and under the 3 baffles, then over the center baffle. All equipment (Skimmer, Kalk, Calcium) will be submersed in the sump (don't have any room otherwise )


View from the other side. The beautiful stand was made by Russ (rusty).

Hi,

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The lights will be mounted on the small 6" open top canopy. Its hard to explain, so I'll post pictures when they are ready to be mounted.

Looks great!
I wish I had such DIY skills.
Just a few questions, if you don't mind.
I'm still relatively new to the hobby, (7 months), and wish to learn more, even if I might not implement some of what I see.

1) What is a coast to coast overflow?
2) The Ampmaster 3000 closed loop...how does that work? 2 feed, 3 return? 3 feed, 2 return?
3) The Sequence Dart closed loop...how does that work? 2 feed, 2 return?
4) Are you going BB?
5) How will you prevent stuff from going down the Sequence Dart openings?
6) The closed loops are just for circulation, correct?

Thanx much,
