Alrighty, that's not a problem. I can whip you up something fancy. First, I have some questions though:

1) Rimmed, rimless or eurobraced?
2) Internal or external overflow?
3) Do you want the overflows made from glass or polycarbonate (clear or black)?
4) Where do you want your overflows located?
5) What flow are you planning for your overflow/return? (I will size the overflow for you)
6) Any other requests?

Also, how thick of glass are you planning? It'll be a 112G, so what do you folks use for tanks that size?
