Hey peeps!!! Ok so I'm building a 250+ salt build which will consist of my main display of 120 gal.

(before it started leaking)
I drained scrapped and resealed and painted the back and drilled 3" holes for my 3,000 gph glasshouse.com overflow.

This will have two 2" drains. Drains will go to the downstairs fish room. One draining into a 29 gal 6" sand bed for my DSB and the other draining into my 20 gal cheato tank.
Both these tanks will drain into a 100 gal Rubbermaid stock tank which will be full of live rock for filtration purposes.
Then pumped back upstairs using a pan work 250 PS pump!
More pics to come!!!!
