That is one exquisite looking tank; almost too nice to put water in it.
Progress is looking great.
Definitely a build thread to follow.

Couple of updates finished the overflow setup different than a bean because of the very short drop to the sump when the tank would restart the overflows would not go to siphon and the tank would overflow. I installed the vents on top of the intakes and now the one goes to full siphon right away and there is a small trickle on the second unit. I also installed a float switch which is connected to the Neptune Apex so if the overflow box water height ever gets to high again the return pump will shut down, it all works very well and is totally silent.

I tired off the stiff vinyl tubing I normally used and am only using silicone tubing on this build , it makes life so easy
