Hey CC, everything is going pretty good. I just received my shipment from flexpvc.com for all my plumbing. I still have to lift the tank to get under it to drill some more holes (that should be fun...) I'm going to run a dart I had laying around for the closed loop and a hammerhead for return. I now have both of my external skimmers vinegar cleaned and ready to go.
I'm also still buffing out all of the scratches. I can't believe how long it's taking...
I'm also building a "rock structure" out of dry live rock, crushed coral, and epoxy to cover up the overflow. It's a pain in the butt, but should look pretty good after I'm done with it. I will def. post pics of the progress.
I do have one question though, How should I do my standpipes? I want it to be as quite as possible and with little flow resistance. I've been looking at doing a stockman/durso style. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys sorry for the delay, I've been extremely busy with work and everything else in life. The tank is looking pretty good, I'm done buffing out all of the scratches and halfway into building the rock structure. It's taking a little longer than expected, I'm just trying to get everything done right the first time.
The hardest part of this whole project has to be the plumbing, it has to be perfect because once it's on the stand and filled with water, I'm not going to be able to change anything inside of the overflow unless I empty it out and take the tank off the stand. There's only going to be 15 inches between my ceiling and the top of the tank. I'll try and do a better job in keeping you guys posted on the progress...

just for confusion reduction, the formula to find the exact size to the decimal is as follows.
LxWxH divided by 231 so in this case 96x42x48 = 193,536/231 = 837.8181 repeating so 838gal
