The main tank is directly stack on the sump. This is a fun and new design. The flat tank is viewing from the top down. The inhabitants in the tank will be clams, mushrooms and some shrimps.
 
Sump.

1st section for the filtration pad.
2nd section for rowaphos and zeolite
3rd section for liverock and maybe some algae.
4th section for rowaphos and zeolite
5th section for Eheim 1250 and returen water.
Center pillar is to help holding the main tank.
Auto top off section, you know what it should be. :D

Glass bar as a pillar to strengthen the main tank that the wall thickness is only 5mm to reduce the weight.

Drill a small hole on the top to prevent the syphon when power off

This is an unique design by myself. I am not good in DIY and no any tools to make it. I order it in LFS.
 
Very cool! Looks like you have put a lot of thought into this. Can’t wait to see it up and running.
 
very nice!
great looking design!

when you drilled the tank how did you do it?
and how does the small hole prevent siphon?
 
The tank maker drill it not me. :D
For the syphon, you can do a test. A pipe that has a small hole above the water cannot make a syphon.
 
A picture of the sump with filter media. You can see the filtrationi pad, rowaphos, live sand and live rocks.
