following along, great build. and to mimic everybody else's comments, your attention to detail in the plumbing is amazing.
Thanks. I have to admit, it is surprising to me how everyone is commenting on the plumbing. I didn't realize plumbing was all that sexy. LOL Guess it comes from 30+ years in the electrical trade. It only takes a minute longer to make it look nice usually.
the true reasoning(in my head) for mentioning it is that most people just slap some pipes together & don't think ahead of how they're going to work around in that area & how it'll look because it's hidden under the stand. out of site, out of mind you know.
When i was getting ready to order my mew tank i had the options of how i wanted them to set up my overflows, size of bulk heads etc.... In my case for my 135 i elected to have one massive internal center overflow with a 2 inch bulkhead., that feeds into two 1" pipes which runs into the sump... Its super easy and clean but doesn't look nearly as cool as your nuclear reactor looking setup.
Will you be able to access the plumbing from behind your tank once its setup? I think in the perfect world it'll be neat if you could actually walk behind your tank for maintenance etc.

Just a little bit. After all- its easier to say "honey my coral died can we get a new one" than the alternative.
This made me laugh so hard, looks good!LOL especially since both she and I are fixed. LOL
