Very nice setup congrats and thanks for taking the time to detail it.
The red dragon is interesting 5000gph must be creating excellent flow?
Probably going to be a bare bottom tank.
I am leaning towards potentially two closed loops. One about 1/3 down from the top and one loop towards the bottom. I dont like equipment in the DT. I bet I can get thicker glass on the rear panel to easy any of my structural integrity concerns. (Need to do more research on this.) Still in the early stages and trying to get up to snuff.
All the best

Thanks, Thats a good plan. I was going to suggest 2 closed loops but it can be expensive for quiet pumps that move alot of water. Abyzz and panta rei are good pumps as well.
But they cost even more than red dragon.
