The tank looks great. I want to give you some information about the bottom. It is not a double layered panes.
The bottom is a 19mm (3/4") single pane.

The drill is a bit off because the hole is drilled from both sides of the glass.
Awesome setup on the tank!
No the laguna is a good pump, Quiet, reliable but its not as refined, and needs to be diy'ed to fit to your plumbing.
It is better at flow than pressure, but is not a whimpy pump. It can handle a little pressure.
It was more of me wanting to run an external pump and i didnt feel comfortable running the laguna out of sump. With smaller volute and no anti calcium loop i felt it would just need alot more maint.

Youre welcome Haxer and Thank you Strout.
Just a little update finnally got the chiller plumbed in 100% and top off complete. Installed the APEX controller 2.5 weeks ago and it has been running flawless. Tunze's have been running off it and everything has been good except my co2 ran out just after i left for vacation and my alk dropped like a stone, and lost a couple sps and stressed some. Not too bad i was not stocked heavy in sps yet. I was planning on this fall stocking back up.
The sohal is king of the tank now, But no aggression after the switch. There was a little tussling at first but when the orange shoulder found out the sohal has the bigger scalpel he backed down from the throne.

Thought i would update this, I had a leaker, and the tank was replaced by ML I went thru a tank switch and learned i can get this tank out of the basement. 
It was a very hard job. I lost a few fish in the process, But gained a few new additions. Sold off most of my lps and zoa's and just going prettymuch all colored sticks.
Heres a new vid of the tank.

Thanks its still pretty bare. I'll pick up some aquacultured SPS in a few weeks to help fill it out, along with some frags. Getting the angels on pellets from frozen takes alot of food. I could not resist another angel. Picked up a goldflake yesterday, It will be here friday weather permitting.
