Introduction:
So True to my Handle it's Never Enough.!!!!
Current install is bugging me. only because of appearance mostly.
but other little factors also pushing me to make a change.
System Objectives: What is the end result going to be?
Looking to make a more built in appearance and hard cable everything through to the tank. water changes drainage etc.
System Type: Fish only, FOWLR, Predator, SPS, Mixed Reef, Softies only, Non photosythetic Corals?

Will also have a overflow outlet high as possible on the sump going to waste
just incase something electronic or manual top ups fail or get forgotten.
will never get over flow onto floors.

So to start with, here is my current setup,
at the top.
Goals with the new install.
1. Clean, More complete finish, from floor to ceiling.
2. Shallower tank and longer
3. Waste and IBC hard connected to tank
Now I want the tank flush up against the wall,
this means No pipes or pumps or inlets on the back glass,
Keeping the clean look I also want to keep the corner most visible
free from anything also,
this means no wave makers, no inlet pipes on the glass.
so my thoughts here are
All wave makers down the left end with outlets.
and the inlet pipe can go above tank all the way down to opposite end and just poke its end into the water
to push the flow back down to the outlets.
So i need some ideas and help in designing the pipe work and what I should do.
I want a drain, (now im thinking on left side panel down low) ???
I don't like pipes in the base of the tank, i think sides are better safer ?
now i currently only have two 50mm outlets on this tank works fine
but i see guys fitting 3 sometimes 4 but no idea what they are doing.
Pipes for my IBC will come from the ceiling..
ideas where to plumb this in would be good
or just sit it above tank fixed ?
drainage will go right to the left hand wall and out .
idea will be to turn one tap.. drains water. turn next tap on and trigger power to ibc
and it fills .
so some good help in this field and ideas would be much appreciated thanks.
the left hand side cupboard will be for GPOS, Computer, pipes down to the sump etc
Thanks
