Looking great can`t wait to see water in it!!! I like the side overflows on mine, im sure you will too. Tagin along come over to my place and we can plan a raid on Kiens tanks one night. Just Kidding

Dude I've practically got a LEASH on Kien now. He didn't tell you I'm his running coach? Raid sounds like a good idea though!

Let me know when your going for a run and I could do the dirty work. I must stop over there one day and have a chat with him its been a while.

Dude I told you, that was just a one time thing. Thought we agreed that was just to satisfy our curiosities.

Here's a pretty lame drawing of what my rock layout could be like. I want it pretty simple with 3 main structures. Paul had requested I draw something up to help me with hole placement so I can pass along the details to Concept.

The silliness. I think I lost a mushroom and one of my high-heeled shoes in this drawing.

I can send you back the mushroom ledge from my tank if you really really want it?

[hillegom]

Isn't that the mind altering kind of mushroom?

What type of coral would you like to keep..
Do you have an idea of the aquascaping,
Can we plumb both ends,
Can we drill the bottom
What internal turnover do you think you would like.
Do you have flood insurance J/K

Paul thanks for chiming in here =)

- Mostly SPS. Some acans, zoas in the mix as well but mostly sticks
- I think the rockwork will be one larger pile and maybe one or two smaller ones. The piles might be closer to low towers. I am open to working outlets and inlets into these structures. Open sand between structures.
- We can plumb through all panes except the front and the viewable end. Even 90s or 45s a few inches away from the front or side panel are ok
- Drill bottom sure. This is a new thing for me to be down with. I'm IN.
- in my current tank I have a nano wavebox and 3x6025s (modded) and eheim return. So not even a ton of flow. That's maybe 35X not counting wavebox. I think I'll need more than that so long as it's planned right
- I will likely have sand. I envisioned intakes in a rock tower like Dez but maybe 12" off ground to avoid sand?

I'm open to the tidal thing or your traditional 'keep stuff suspended and just get it to the overflow' thinking. I likely won't be doing a wavebox in this setep tho so I'd like to match its ability to move all areas of the tank.
