Thanks for the input...
im not planning on any SPS corrals as im more of a polyp / softie fan and even if i do add SPS i will make sure they are going to be placed accordingly in the tank that they get enough light.

As far as the holes go...
It's a 48" x 6" strip so 6 holes shouldn't be an issue as the return from the closed loop will be exactly 6" x 6" x 15" ( 15" being the height of the overflow box ).

I will get busy with sketch up and post a drawing tomorrow....

Instead of using privacy glass for the OF I would use acrylic, then you could cut some slotted holes in it to hide a couple power heads in the OF box. It would also be easier to cut slots in the acrylic for water flow into OF. Are you planning to build yourself or have a builder do it?

well,
I know i can do it myself, but thinking of getting someone else to build it for me. I could probably get the glass cut and have it polished and assemble it myself, probably the same for the sump. I don't think the glass would be over $250

Well if your interested and want to get the glass I could put it together in the shop, building a few ATM myself. Even have a full sheet of 3/16" black acrylic and some GE SCS 1200 black silicone.
