96x36x30 acrylic (¾ all around) with dual purpose sumps (40g breeders) one is refugium and other is for mechanical processing. Not skinned yet but up and running finally.

I have to admit I'm confused by the plumbing in those pics. Can you give us a guided tour of that aspect?

Maybe this can help explain. Drain lines are in blue and return is in white. From the drain it goes left drain to left return and right drain to right return tanks. The 2nd pic will show you the plan. Made it more simple. Left tank refugium. Right mechanical.

Water drains into chamber with heater.
Flows over into filter pad
Flows into main chamber on each tank
Overflows at 8.5" into equalization chamber
Under baffle into return
Return goes up through checks
Combines into 2" through automated ball valve
Through 2" flow meter
Sweeps into Tee back to 1½
And out to tank.

There is a equalization chamber before the pump section. This allows the tanks to equalize height. Or like currently just 1 pump to operate. Other is in my old tank.

Sorry for the horrible drawings i have nerve damage in my hand and it does its own thing.

Well this is one crazy tank! Always love seeing what happens to these huge tanks so I’ll be following along!
