I am getting my exact size tank in 3-4 weeks from tenecor.

Thank you for doing this before me and the ultima filter is a great idea. I have been dreaded on setting up a big wet dry due to the noise and smell (wifey hates the noise) I even was going to set them up OUTSIDE and run a bulkheads through the walls.

As of the back of your tank, are you using one of the reeflo for closed loops ?

The closed loop I was referring to was for extra flows around the tank.

You usually have 1 incoming to the pump and the outlet of the pump into 2 outlets on the tank.

Were the 5- 2" bulkheads used for drain and return ONLY ?

My overflow is a peninsula type overflow on one side of the tank only. The tank is viewable from the 2 long sides (room divider), so I need to figure out a way to eliminate dead spaces on the other side of the tank.

Can you show me how you route your plumbing please ?

Thanks sir
