A good video it is. Hard to get a good look see of the overflow pipe thing in the middle. Can you talk about that a little?

The tank was drilled with 1" drains, I immediately go to 1.5". The drain by the skimmer goes straight down into the skimmer area. The other goes along the back wall and splits into the sump and than goes into the skimmer area, the pipe going into the sump has a ball valve for small adjustments to control any flow issues, nothing major so far. The suction pipe in the middle goes through the refugium, so as to pull water from the center sump section and not disturb the refugium. To switch the sump to the end box would require pulling water from the end and result in the refugium water being skimmed without going through the tank. I'm not sure how important this is, but was told that it was.
