Big update! The brand new drilled tank is up and running!
I'm super happy with it, it's dead silent and I have about 3 times more water flow going through my system now. I have a sicce syncra 3.0 (715gph) and I now have it wide open throttle, the overflow is rated for 600gph and with head height I'm pretty darn close. Plumbing was a major pain, and drilling the hole for the emergency drain proved to be a challenge, but it's done :)

Like the aquascape. Cannot tell, but how much space between the rock and the back?
I may get some hate for it, but I don't ever clean the back glass so the rock is up against it

Couple small updates. Finished the return plumbing. Still thinking of adding a check valve just for added redundancy.

Quick video I took of the tank today. Everything was looking happy so I started filming. My Toadstool coral is all closed up, he's been unhappy the past week, working on figuring out why. Also I put the music over it so you wouldn't have to hear me breathing lol
