I picked up another tank and had a stand made and I have a few Questions before this just becomes a Stand alone tank. My original Idea was to make this a display refugium that tied into my existing system. Id really like to run my return into the back of this tank and have a single drain that drains directly into my system. Do you guys think this is a crazy idea? Anything I might need to think about as a safe guard so I dont flood the whole place? Not sure If I like the tank that close to the tv. Ideally Im thinking of placing the bulkheads high so if I lose power it will drain into my display then drain into my sump and the level should remain ok once everything kicks back on.
