Cheeks, I think thats a 56 gallon Oceanic.....
MBL,
Just a suggestion, might think about wrapping the flexible tubing connecting the scwd to the PVC returns w/ either black electrical tape or duct tape. This prevents light from hitting the insdies of the plumbing and allowing algae to grow and choke off the flow through there.
Looks good,
Nick
