Great looking tank well thought out flow as well. The 4 ways are a very nice touch as well. A bit courious about your design of the over flow boxes.

Awesome pics. You really could go swimming in that bad boy.
I can't wait to see this one take off.
It is going to be awesome.

Looking good. It makes your corals look small though I'm sure that will cure itself in a year or two.
Great job hiding the closed loop outlets.
I can't wait to see the growth you get in this tank.

Awesome job Billy! I too love the way you hid the CL returns. The scaping looks very natural.
