Build progress pictures. sorry didn't take picture of plumbing progress that was the hardest part. I have to say from beginning to end plumbing works out great. Once return pump is turn on no leak, there are 3 returns. It's the first without any leak.

After light and Vortech mp60 in the back pane, this tank is perfect at hiding all the uglies my cleanest build to date. It is the perfect tank for keeping corals and medium to smaller fish, Power head flow hit all the right spot and can't be seen. My only complain is the return can be loud without the bean animal silencer. I am a big fan of external over flow, it maximizes the affect of the Vortech or power head, the internal over flow box should be a thing of past.

The mounting the part that you see is by kessil, but I had to use wood panel and wood rod to mount and extend it to the middle of the tank, the one that sold my Kessil is not long enough. The combination Kessil hanging kit and wood mounting DIY out nicely.
