I am starting to build a 180 gallon reef tank and I am making it two sided. (custom stand built in the center of my basement) I have a drilled 180 gallon tank but I purchased it used. the previous owner removed the overflows that were in the tank. my question is how do I plumb my sump without overflows ( trying to hide everything so the tank is viewable from both sides) and is this even possible? any information will be helpful. thanks!

There is going to have to be at least some sort of plumbing. I had to convince my ladyboss of this when setting up (currently setting up) my DT that is viewable from both sides. I made acrylic overflow boxes out of black acrylic that hide the standpipes.
If the tank is acrylic you can also do a square overflow in the center of the tank and hide it with aquascaping.

Thank you. Ive did alittle more research on my lunchbreak and am thinking about using hob overflow boxes on the sides of my tank that will be hidden by my canopy. Ive read good reviews and bad reviews on hob overflows that if the siphon is lost it will cause flooding. Anybody ever ran into this issue? Sorry like i said new to this. Thanks
