Design Help

[Gizmoh]

I am planning for ordering the first week of Septemeber so no real rush! But it is going to be a 48x30x20 tank euro braced with an external coast to coast overflow that is 10" deep and as thin as possible to allow for a bean animal overflow. The only thing I am unsure of is where the holes will be placed there will be the three in the bottom of the overflow box (for the bean-animal) and I am thinking of a closed loop as well as some input on how the return would come into the tank without going over the back

Thanks again for all the help

What thickness of glass for the display tank?
What thickness of glass for the external overflow?
Overflow centered?
Plumbing is one inch diameter?

[Gizmoh]

These are things I have not yet thought about! I have little to no knowledge on glass thickness, the overflow is coast to coast and the plumbing can be anything that works properly! . I am a lot of help Am I not? I figured the the returns would be smaller then the overflows.

While I can help draw a usable plan I have zero experience designing a tank. I think you will need to research or get the input from others here on the type of glass you need.

I could draft it. I will not design it.
