NEED some help on a tank and sump set-up

[azulikit]

Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully you have some ideas for me on a reef set-up. I've attached some pics so you can have an understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish.

I want to go from my non-drilled tank to a drilled tank set-up to support a sump. I would prefer a very clean look that is functional, quiet and low maintenance. The tank will be viewed from front and back with the sides hidden and not accessible. I want to do it right so I don't mind spending a little to get it right.

Tank - 48"x21"x28.5" Where exactly do I want to put the overflow and return piping on a set-up like this? Back of the tank on each side and use black backing to hide the corners?

Sump - At a minimum in the sump area I would like a skimmer, phosban reactor, heater, pumps, bags and probes. The center section should probably stay to support the tank therefore I think only the left and right hand areas (14" long x 28 3/4" high each) are useable. I could drill holes on the center section for plumbing if required. I guess as the space is limited so may be the sump set-up? Any other equipment ideas welcomed.


Thanks!
