Ok, so why do I not see where the water is being inputed from the DT?

Inlet from the overflow from the display is the 1 1/2" in the upper right hand corner. I hope this pic clears it up, the return is in the upper left hand corner, the pump sits underneath the stand.

hehe the sump input line is hidden behind the skimmer and is inside that 3" pvc pipe with the holes in it. (helps reduce micro bubbles)

Sure...The sump is 48"x18"x12". the fuge section is 18.5" with a 15" tall baffle....in hindsight I should have made it 14" or so because the 6" drop of water into the return section creates bubbles that occasionally get sucked into the return pump. Not a huge deal but I have to pile up some lr around the return intake to break up the bubbles before they get dispersed in the display.

The skimmer section is 12.5"( just big enough for my skimmer) and the baffles are 9" tall.
