nyvp....wow!! fantastic tank! Love the aquascaping. I am a big fan of anthias also! I never thought of the 3 pods of rock. It gives lots of spots to grow out coral. Lots of gorgeous fish.
I am curious on the circulation. How is the wall against the wall done? IF you had to do it over again on the circulation what would you change?
thanks so much for sharing!

I don't have mine set-up yet because we are trying to buy a house around the tank. It's a 280g viewable from three sides...72 x 30 x 30 Euro-braced 5/8" glass with a Calfo on one end. It's drilled for a OM 4-way 8" off each corner of the bottom. The CL intake is just below the Calfo on the same end. Can't wait to get it set up. I got some nifty things for the canopy...automation 
with 16" of unobstructed access...can't wait to start the build thread.

My tank is 72"L x 48"W, viewable from the front, one side, middle back with a split view of the 4th side.
Here's as much as anyone could possibly read about my tank...

And one image that might give you an idea. Hope it helps!

This is mine that's been up since January.
It measures 84x36x28.
A single horizontal overflow runs 2/3 across the end at the wall.
There is a single 3/4" return in each upper back corner (total of 2)fed from a pair of Eheim 1262's plumbed externally.
There are also a total of 4 Votech's- 2 stacked vertically below each return nozzle to create a wall of water coming down both sides of the tank.
Rockwork was created with numerous pass-throughs underneath so the water coming down the sides from the Vortech's and the returns can come back up the middle thru the tunnels in the rockwork.
The open rockwork works really well and the water creates quite an undertow in the caves as it heads back towards the wall. However, I have noticed that having the 4 Vortech's all at one end causes them to work against each other when they are all on at full blast. There is so much turbulance and suction at the end by the wall that the water coming out of the pumps competes with it's own reverse current. I actually get more water movement at the opposite end of the tank with 2 of the pumps in the anti-sync mode.

Just Dave, that's a sweet system you're rockin there. I had considered doing the same thing but all my spare space was already spoken for. Try as I might, I just couldn't get the wife to agree that our daughter would be perfectly happy sleeping on the couch
