Did you have to reinforce the floor??
Nice lights! Taggin along!
WOW! Nice upgrade! Looking forward to following your progress...
Awsome!

That font size is rather unnecessary.
I'm still thinking about the electric panel; I have an idea I should sketch up for you which would be pretty easy to implement - building off the 3 section idea.
WOW!!! This is an awesome upgrade to say the least Eric, and is funny that like Brett these dimensions are the same as my dream build as well and had a quote worked up on using 1" acrylic a year ago or so. We plan on downsizing in retiring to our Beach House soon so now will just increase the height of my 125g by 10" which will barely fit to around 187-ish for a new build.
As others have already stated above cannot wait to see what you do with this one, as you've set the bar pretty high on your 100g already. The plumbing looks fantastic, great job and Kudos to all of you for putting it together so clean.
Cheers, Todd
The sheet of plywood, some 2x6s, and two pieces of angle iron would make the idea happen. It's essentially a shallow wooden box that's partitioned and stood up vertically. I'll CAD a pretty picture later if I have 15 minutes.I like the three section idea. If it can be built out of plywood that would be great, since I have an 8'x4' section at my place already. If not wood, maybe I can source some acrylic tomorrow or Friday and bust out the weldon -- it's been a few years but I think I can put something together.

"A single Waveline DC12000 feeds the return to the AGE and the 50g, the UV sterilizer (via gate valve) and a quick water change line (via ball valve). The DC12000 is internal in the last chamber of the sump and the three bulkheads that were for external pumps have been capped off -- they can be utilized later by simply removing the internal caps."
Were you running a Waveline pump on either of your previous tanks? I have a Speedwave 10000 as my return pump right now and discovered quite a bit of rust on and around the screws that join the impeller housing to the pump body. I contacted the online vendor that sold me the pump, and was referred to the a distributor hoping to get some replacement screws. They informed me that the Speedwave's have been discontinued because of "quality control issues" and generally have failed after a year of use. I was told that the Waveline is a better pump for sure, but still seem to be unreliable long term. Obviously, I have know way of backing up this claim, so take it with a grain of salt, but might be worth keeping a back up return pump on hand just in case, based on what I was told.
Looks awesome so far!
If you have the right guard on the 1.5" drain pipe, I doubt your 1" will ever even activate in practical sense. The drop from that height is more than enough to cause a siphon flow rate greater than one waveline pump can output (but understanding you fine tuned it with the needle valve).
Rocknut's comments above is why I ran the wavelines as external pumps. Great DC pump for the price / value / electrical bill - but I was worried about the rust as well. Don't remember / know if the screws are titanium on the outside or not (probably not). Worse case is swap the other pump in as rust builds up and then get a solid other option.
When are we going to start seeing some rockwork / landscaping? You've had like 3 or 4 days already to get that stuff done! Sleep is for wimps!
Exactly; 2-3" off the bottom.Better than I was envisioning. Are you thinking that the bottom should be up off the base of the stand? Makes sense to me.
