@1ocean looking forward to you hopefully getting some progress made with your build soon!
yes ..I think your as excited as I am ...I am putting alot of planning and thought into this build. The over flow 36x23x6 with three chambers has me thinking of making inserts like prefilters before the sump so easy to clean..
and then the sump 60x30x18 lots of room.
