I would give some thought to your CL intakes being in the floor of the tank.. I made the mistake and was forced to use a pvc fitting to raise the intake strainer up off the floor as to avoid it sucking in sand and fine debris.

Other than that, the tank design looks great. Can't wait to see it!

I have no choice but to put them in the bottom. I'll raise them up and hide them in a pillar.

You will at some point need to clean the strainer fittings. Making it difficult to do so will likely mean it will get done less. Cant wait to see what you do with the aquascaping.

That seemed somewhat unnecessary. Taking out some aggression maybe
