Back in again. 75g sps build thread

[DesertReefT4r]

So since last night I have been planning out in my head how Im going to plumb the 40B into the display's sump. Im kind of stuck on the overflow for the 40B. I want to keep it as simple as possible, clean and silent. 1 drain line would be the simplest and cleanest but it will be hard to make silent. A herbi overflow would be the easiest and cleanest way to make it silent but will require a 2nd drain making a total of 5 1" pipes that would be going to the sump. Thats way too much piping going on, I need to be able to work on the sump still. I could just do a 2nd drain as emergency only and T into my main diplay emergency drain. That would clean up some piping clutter. However I dont want to modify the main displays plumbing. The other thing is the overflow box. Eshopps S is the smallesst one I can find thats any good and internal. Problem is it has 2 drains and the problem with that is the not being certain about 1 or 2 drains. I could just do a bulkhead in the back and a 90 with a screen fitting to keep snails out, but the noise thing again. I am so stuck on this right now. Any advise would be welcome.

Just went and read the entire build thread. What a roller coaster ride you have been on! Looking at your picture from April it looks like your sps has taken off. Good job sticking with it!

Few newer pics of my reef. For the most part it's been thriving. I have cut a lot of frags as well from most of the sps.

Picked up a used stand and sump for cheap today for the frag tank. This is not going to be a super slick build since it not a display tank so I good with used equipment.
