Yeah. But he's right up the road, and I know he went to a good home.

678 gallons on outside. I'm gonna say 1" think acrylic?? Or glass? 1" acrylic would take it down to a 612 gallon tank. Lol. I do this math a lot.
Side overflow?
Holes drilled on bottom for re circulation pumps?

Ok, I was off... It'll be 600g glass. Will be drilled and overflow in the middle. Will also have 4 drilled holes in back for return. It's completely custom, so it's all I can imagine. All advice would help.
Side note. Got my yellow bellied tang and Australian salfin.

Sounds like it will be an awesome set up. And I'm glad your Purple Tang went to a good home. Hopefully it doesn't wreak havoc in your friend's tank.

What about a coast to coast overflow. If you go acrylic it can easily be done on the outside of the tank across the back and not take away tank space.

I don't like acrylic. More of a glass person.

Fair enough and I agree, I would rather deal with heavy than scratches myself. A coast to coast is still an option.

Based on tanks I have set up- id reckomend having at least 3-4 bottom recirculating points. Flow gets difficult in a 48" depth unless you are willing to throw in quite a few power heads at different points. They are often hidden by rockwork in the end as well but serve a great purpose.
Also- why not two overflows so you can skim a greater surface area?

A coast to coast is an overflow, it's the entire width of the tank across the back. It is also usually back drilled then the overflow only has to be a few inches deep. This is ideal on acrylic as it is easier to mount outside the tank on the back but can be done inside.

I just did a quick google search and there are lots of pics of CTC overflows. There are even glass ones mounted externally.

Got rid of my 3 b&w clowns and got a nice maroon and gold clown with 3 rose nem's for $75! I gotta delete pics so y'all can see it.. It's beautiful. Also picked up a neon goby, tiger serpent star. Maybe a nice sized convict tang tomorrow.

With what you added. Plus the subtraction(s). No my tank is going just fine. Going shopping tomorrow. LFS has a PJ Cardinal on hold (to replace the one I lost) and looking for a couple of small frags.
I'm sure I'll catch up once you are able to post more pics.
