Yes, just saw your whole thread! Anything is possible, good job, and looks amazing! It crossed my mind about 100 times ( I have drilled glass and enough soft stone to be confident), but wasn’t ready to cut silicone on a brand new tank, and take the chance of it leaking down the road as I bought his tank for a lifetime. Didn’t think the pros out weighted the cons. That does concern me with yours, just hope you get a perfect seal and it NEVER leaks, you will be headache free [emoji1360]. Looks clean, I like it, what sump is that? What kind of lights/powerheads/protein skimmer/ or equipment are you gonna run? Want to follow so will post on your side and keep in touch. Good job take your time my plan was over a year and then 3/4 months to build. I had another tank before was a 125g that I had to transfer fish from which set me back lost 13 fish due to marine velvet, Bc I never QT in my life. So learned about QT, and started over best thing I have ever done! GOOD LUCK, and will follow.

Dan,
Very awesome work - congratulations!
It looks like you have an Apex Flow Sensor in the Return Pipe that drops into the 'socks area' of your sump. I'm guessing that this is the main overflow line from the tank. Does the Flow Sensor work pretty consistently here? Do you sometimes have gaps of air in the Return Pipe that affect the accuracy of the Flow Sensor?

Beautiful setup!
I've never scene a yellow/gold plumbing color scheme, and I have say, it looks really nice. Very unique and extremely well thought out.

How are the RFG nozzles working out for you? Looks like you would have plenty of GPH to really take get them working well.

I have 6 flow sensors, yes they are accurate, and pretty much consistent. Here are some pics plus it has a max, min flow and average.

Great product you have. Wish it had a little bit more movement for adjustment, but the nozzle is very nice and puts out a awesome flow! [emoji1360]
