K, the only LFS within 90 miles quoted me $219 on a reef ready tank. How does that sound?

Gotya, I have NO experience in building tank stuff, I had gotten the idea off of some diy pages i've found online. Lemme see if i can get you a pic.
219 for a reef ready tank? Sounds good to me.... you won't regret it. The overflow wall I bought for my 100 gallon cost me 90 bucks to get built.
Did I say you won't regret it :-)

Something like this, only 2 or 3 of them instead of just the one.

Well, that is very interesting..... but oh the noise and the flushing effect that could possibly have.
I wouldn't do it.

Hmm, K. Noise reduction is going to me one of my future questions.
So, if I go with a overflow "wall", is the hole for the drain in the bottom or on the back of the tank?
Lemme take a picture of the wall I bought... I have to install it yet... be right back.

The hole would be in the bottom of the tank.... you could build a standpipe yourself (that is a very good first project when learning plumbing).
But there's lots of different way to do it... this just happens to be the way I like to do it.

Gotya, Similar Design, though! So, are holes in the back of the tank more noisy than those in the bottom? Or, what is the advantage of it being in the bottom? Thanks for the pics btw!
Man, I wish i had some good CAD software!
