Welcome to R2R! It looks like a two drain setup. So you have the main drain on the left with the return line right next to it, and the emergency drain on it's own on the right, not sure the giant hole in the back though.

Well after speaking with company that made the tank the pipe work is done and the hole in the back is to drop wiring into the lower half .. My next question is I've ordered 40kg of live rock and have a few critters what you think .. Good or bad one is a snail of some kind the other looks to be Brown has some spots on it and a white under side
