How to set this tank up

[mksteele1856]

Hello,
I want to install a 125 gallon tank in the center of my library in my home. I want the tank to be able to be viewed all around. I was wondering how do I set the tank up so it can be viewed 360 degrees with out any wires hanging. Ive seen it on TV and in pictures but I have no0t been about to find any information on this. where do you put all the wires for the filter, heater, lights and everything. Any help will be great.

You'll want to have a central "tower"-type overflow in the center of the tank and a sump down below in the stand. You can have your returns come thru the bottom of the tank, and depending on the tank shape and purpose (reef, FOWLR), you can have the returns come out of the O/F tower or thru the bottom in various places to spread the flow, or both.
You hide all of your equipment in the sump (heater, skimmer, etc) for a nice clean look.
We're currently building a 210 gal peninsula that will run with the mains coming from two sides of the O/F, and the CL returns thru 4 holes in the tank bottom.
