Sorry for the delay in responding to you buddy! Just finished three builds this weekend and finally have a second to reef central it up!

You are correct the tank on the left is a flow through... Water feeds into the top of the barrel swirls around then overflows out of the barrel back to the sump.

Again you are correct! Pretty simple actually.

Let me know if this makes sense... :wave:

Are you saying it's plumbed like a DT? Water pumped in, overflow out? I'm not sure I can see the plumbing for that in the picture, is it hidden behind the tank somehow?

Thanks Corey!

It makes things easy! I will always have a water change station on my systems after being spoiled with this one... :beer:

Yes, that's correct! The return is on the top of back and the drain is on the left side...:thumbsup:

I was just showing my wife your pics. You did a good job selling her on the coral (now all I need to do is to get the tank's act together).
