Need opinions on new tank design

[Myka]

I didn't even look at your sump design...what are you using the fuge for? Pods or macroalgae culture? I also suggest you do your baffles the other way - first and last one raised up, middle one on the bottom. The baffles don't have to be that tall either. If the water level is 8" make the baffles 10" or so.

Dood, use true union ball valves. Union and ball valve in one. Takes up less space and costs a tad less.
