Very nice coach! I'll post a pic later of what I'm thinking. Ya its a long and no need to read it all. We're just getting to the point of set-up. he wants to order the tank by the end of the week so I gotta get crunching numbers.
But again all your input would be great!

Yep thats right! All the red is 1" BH's and the CL intake is 1.5".
After thinking about the drains for the OF's I was thinking 1.25" for more flow but I think Glasscages likes to use schedule 80 BH and I don't think they will fit in the OF so might have to go down to 1" drains and get more out of the CL.
The OF's will handle 1200 gph through the sump/fuge and the have to get 2000+ through the CL. The OF boxes are 4" x 7" = 15" liner inches each. but with the lighter flow can probably come down to 4" x 6" this should be more than enough for 1200 gph!

Hey mad, How's it going down south? the tank is well! I cut it up to size about 120 gals 60"x18"x26". Notched out the back for OF's (no box) and have the returns drilled. Still working on a CL. But I just got my RO unit which was the big hold-up. I'm not carry buckets for both tanks, far to old for that. I still have to buy the front panel.
Just building a new sump/fuge for the 55 and then back to that one. I'll have you up to check it out!
Changed my email same as before just gmail.
Good to hear from you, I assume you heard about Mike?
Shoot me mail!

I vote for space available or 40-50% display volume....depending on weather it is fitting in a stand or fish room.....and what you want to accomplish with it...
I'm actually going to try the sump refugium set up from that site to see how well that may work or not... i'll just use my spare tank and put it under my 90... it made me curiuos...
