hello, i am sort of new to this hobby.I've had my 120 gallon up for just over two years now.learned a lot from here and my local Iowa reef club G.I.R.S..So now i have decided to upgrade to a 210 peninsula style.i have bought a new tank(not reef ready),and got a custom overflow box coming from exotic marine.so here is a rendering of the stand i'm going to build for it.thats it for now lol 20160214_191649_resized.jpg
 
That looks very cool! Can't wait to see it!
 
update,things i have for this tank

3 led fixtures
dc1200 return pump
deltec ts 1060 skimmer (the two aquabee 2001 pumps are going to be replaced with dc2000 pumps)
acrylic sump
jebao d-4 dosing pump
brs dual reactor
poly reactor 30/30
ordered and paid for a custom overflow from exotic marine and a 75mm glass drill bit for it

so now once i receive the overflow and get the tank drilled,i will start the demo of my house to begin the stand construction.
 
Today I received my new custom overflow from Taylor Pilot of exotic marine systems.he did a great job.thank you!

I know this is an old post, but I just ordered a white box from @TaylorPilot! I'm going for the white background, even going to try to print white loc line and pump covers...
 
Finally got water in my new build, the Exotic 32" is working wonderfully! In my emergency test, with 2x Vectra M2s on full power, the overflow handled something like 3,000+ gph like a champ...completely silent. Don't plan to actually run it that fast, but good to know it handles it, and no noise at all!

...well except for the water flowing through the sock chamber like class 10 rapids... ;)
