My stand finally came in, again. This time is was much closer to the way I ordered it so I am going to keep it this time. I also picked up some foam for my stand today, it is 1/4" thick purchased from Lowes.
Got the plumbing done today with my brother in law. It is a 1.5" drain and then a 3/4" return with a true wye fitting then flexible pvc up to the bulkheads. We had the two drains join up and go upsize into 2" and then down to the sump.
I'm nowhere near ready to have a SW tank (financially or space capacity wise) but someday I plan on having one and I've been trying to figure out the whole sump/fuge plumbing thing. I have to admit that for me it's the most confusing part of the SW world. Your pictures, however, help clear up a lot of confusion for me. It's one of the first times I've been able to clearly see how it all connects up. Thanks for posting these.
If you get a chance could you post how the plumbing inside the tank works? Are you using overflows?
Thanks again for the clear, straightforward pics of the plumbing.

I want to order a 180 gal Acrylic tank same size as you 72x24x24, but what is the thickness of the tank? They told me 0.6 inch as thickness, is that enough?

That is just over 1/2" thick. I would think that is enough for a tank that size.
Your project seems to becoming along nicely!! Can't wait to see how it looks with the canopy on and lit up!
