I am thinking of purchasing an L shaped tank! This thing is awesome and happens to replace my current 5’ tank perfectly with the bonus of the “L” Shape adding another dimension when you are in my fish room. It would end up being a 210 gallon mixed reef. For the price I think I am going to snag it but wanted some ideas on plumbing this thing first.

The tank has 2 x 2” holes for overflow, 1 x 2” hole for what I’m assuming is a closed loop intake and 8 x 1” holes for returns/closed loop returns. I’ve never done closed loop but not opposed to the idea. I also am not opposed to just plugging the bottom holes and running with a normal overflow to the sump and return.

I have been trying to wrap my mind around how I would plumb this thing but can’t come up with anything I like. Asking for any ideas?? Hopefully you are able to see attached pictures.
