This gives a good idea of how small it is. Hopefully it is relatively quiet too but I have my doubts.

You can also see in that last pic the "rails" that are supporting the lights. I may stick with this since I don't mind it but I will put a face on the front. I am also going to put it on a track that will allow it to slid back and forth across the tank.
This is what I mean by a "facing"...So it looks like a mini canopy with the light box on top.

And while I am at it. A few pics of the fish. This is all the fish there will be. Yellow Tang and a pair of clowns. Eventually the tang will go in my fish only I think. We'll see how fast he outgrows this tank.
  This is my favorite view of the tank so far. From the left side. Everything is just very small frags at this point but growth has been really, really good actually. Most of these have doubled in size the last month. The picture looses most of the depth of the tank but there are three small islands and one large one. Tons and tons of open space and even the back of the tank behind the rocks has corals to try to give the tank a more realistic feel. The tank would be viewable from all sides if it were not for the wall   This is the entire clean up crew, who even ate the clean up crew. Actually he left the Tiger tail Cucumber alone but he is the most amazing scavenger I have ever had. He does try to eat the clowns though, hopefully he will continue to fail. He is about 6" across from leg to leg.

Anyone have any advice for taking good pics of corals? The fish pics turn out fine but the corals loose most of their color whenever I take pics of them. I have no idea how to fix this but it really annoys me!

Hopefully I will get the plumbing going tomorrow and then decide on a skimmer. I have not decided yet because I need to see how much room I have. It will be nice to get the refugium going on this tank though right away. There have been no nutrient or algae problems even without it but it can't hurt.

Hey,
The drain type you're looking for would be an "external durso". The idea of the T off the back of the tank, with an air vent is to create a tunnel of air down the center of the pipe, so the water flows quietly down the pipe; this won't be silent, but quiet. If you're not running the T or air-flow into the pipe, and just a 90, then you would be trying to create a syphon (herbie) which you cannot do with that type of overflow. Do you have plans for a backup drain??  I cannot find the proper picture of the bottom drain for in-sump that I was thinking of... but this is something similar: (found on nano-reef) http://www.daemonfly.com/images/2.5g/lowerdurso.jpg

Off the back of the bulkhead is a T for airflow. I am also wondering though about putting a T somewhere near the bottom. I know some people were apparently doing this to make things even quieter but I can't remember why or how? Thanks for the link. I will check it out.
