All SCA aquariums come standard with 3 1in bulkheads unless you request a custom built one.

Here are the pics of the water level with the Synergy Shadow overflow I was asked about a while ago, sorry for the delay. Soul patch was spot on, if there was a eurobrace on the back pane the water level would have been a bit lower in the tank than I wanted. Next step is to move over the small tank inhabitants and rock to the new tank this week. The smaller tank turned into a RBTA dominated tank, only 3 of them but they really grew pretty big and did well. Will give at least one away to another reefer friend on mine when I move them over as I want to try SPS again in a bigger, more stable system (knock on wood).
I built the stand to be a little extra large (height and width). So far I have plenty of room to get in there and work around. We shall see what happens when I get the rest of the equipment in there.

My seams are good. Plenty of extra silicone, no thin areas or bubbles that I noticed like some others have posted pics of. For the price I would buy another tank in a heartbeat based off my experience of 1. Maybe some of the other builders have seams that look "cleaner", but for me not worth 2-3 times the cost (I got several quotes)
My overflow was the Synergy so can't speak to their normal overflow.
Thanks for the information.

Also using a synergy on my next build - what sump is that you are running?

The Trigger triton 44. I wanted a huge refugium, or as big as I could get under my stand. And debating trying the Triton (or similar) method once this tank really settles in about a year from now so wanted that option built in.

looking good Chicago. I wish I had had the patience when I was ordering my tank to wait for his custom. I had sent him the specs for the synergy, flush eurobrace, and no back brace but went with a stock 150 instead. One of the larger pain points for me at the moment looking back.
I will be sure to correct that when I order the next tank...

Just got my quote from Steve for my ~135 gal build (60x24x22) and new rustic style stand, CANNOT WAIT!
Moving into the new house in 3 weeks, and as the tank is a 8-10 week lead time, I plan to pay the invoice very soon.
Already transferred my current 75 once a few weeks ago, looks like it's moving again which will tons of fun (stress) round 2....and hopefully everything stays alive again.

Hopefully you added some custom aspects to the tank like for the synergy overflow, flush eurobrace, no rear brace.
You will love the tank and I am excited to start seeing pics of the new wood stands. Thankfully I have one of the older nice wood stands but there was a spurt there where the stand quality plummeted as Steve struggled to find a new source after the one shop owner retired and closed his business...

Just got my SCA 150 pre-drilled for a Synergy overflow. Opened up the package and here's what i saw. I'm now sick to my stomach!
Yep, that's both drill holes for the overflow that seems to have either deep scratches or cracks. Of course I can pull off the nice black backing if i wanted to find out. But what does it matter. Who wants this in a brand new tank....

Joined the club and got the 150 drilled for 20" shadow overflow. 15mm glass rimless tank.
Test filling as we speak.

Hope it gets resolved quickly. Did you ask the truck driver to haul the tank away?
