So heres a couple of pics, probably not the best, but you get the idea. Have a lot to do on it yet, probably start the woodwork in the next couple of weeks, as well as the rock work.

Going to try the tunze waveboxes out, I have four of them but decided to take and mount 2 on the far end on separate brackets(thanks Tony). I modified the brackets a bit to accommodate the cords going up through the bulkheads. I think it gives it a cleaner look.

How did I miss when you first showed that overflow cover?! That looks incredible and you'll have a decent clearance still for coral growth too. Very nice!

Bob, where did you get the brackets from? This is a very cool design. Clean, and I like how the electrical cord goes neatly into the bulkhead. Did you design these? or are they a tunze item? never seen them before.

Do you think you could pipe these down further into the tank with plastic piping (2-6" long) and still have the stability? Just looking for ideas myself....I really like the bracketing.
