I will be upgrading from a 90gal to a 340gal tank.
The tank will be 72x36x30 and will be in wall with 3 viewable sides that will be starphire with and external overflo. The front and back and one side will be viewable. The left side will have an external overflow. The tank will be drilled with three holes on the euro bracing which will have a Wavy sea on each hole. It will also have three holes on the left pane for two 1" returns and one 2" hole for closed loop which will feed all two wavy sea's on a reef dart pump. The overflo will have two 1 1/2" drains which will drain as of now down to the basement where i have a 180gal sump. The tank will be on a 42" high wall unit in family room, the back side of the tank will be cut into my kitchen and will have a picture frame around it.
