Anyone have a 36" wide tank?

Mine's actually built, has been in my friends warehouse for 45 days now!

I think the overflow is about 18" wide

The large center opening is for a 2" bulkhead as the intake for my closed loop. Have a Dolphin Ampmaster 3000 (being upgraded to a 4000 with new seals) that will provide the flow. Still debating whether or not I will use an OM 4-way or not.

So the big hole will drain into the sump, then from the sump to the ampmaster, then from the ampmaster back to the 4 holes in the back of the tank?
Or, do you have the big hole going directly to the ampmaster and then directly back up to the other 4 holes in the tank, therefore bypassing the sump completely?

The 2" opening will be plumbed directly to the Ampmaster then back to the 4 openings in the back, no sump, closed loop.

The two drains in the overflow will go to the sump, then returns will be plumbed via holes in the euro-bracing.

Gotcha, cool I like that setup.
Thanks

tedu, are you going to put anything at the end of your returns in the eurobracing....such as seaswirls?

There will be bulkheads in the openings.
Then since those returns will be relatively low flow, no more than 600gph each, will probably just use Omni-Flex:

I'm thinking my new build may be 60x36x22. I'm limiting the height so I can reach in. With the taller tanks mentioned here, do you have a tough time getting your hand to the bottom? Also trying to decide on the best height to keep SPS in most areas. 36 seems like a nice width.
