I think the external would be neat Mike and easy to do as the tanks being built. My problem with it is the amount of rear space needed but would it be much more than,s required for the pipes you have drawn? If I was doing that I would install a single 2in. overflow, similar to the one I have in my 45 cube.

Are you actually going to build this tank yourself?

If so....... a photo pictorial would be cool.

I've always wanted to build a tank

Cheers,

I'm thinking about Starfire for the tank too. But I know it scratches so easy. What does everyone who have starfire do to clean their tank.
