I'll post more tomorrow. Tank is a mess of rock right now. No aquascaping yet. Just moving rock all over.

Moved most of the coral over.

GSP will be at the bottom of the tank on the other side of the drop off.

Could you take a pic of the plumbing from you overflow for me please. I am planning a coast to coast in my 8' - 300 but I want it to be completely silent with no vertical pipes inside the tank.

Sure, I'll do that tonight.

I think a long tank would really benefit from it. I know in my setup the debris tends to circle around the return nozzles from the sump. It eventually finds it's way to the overflow but a coast to coast would work MUCH better.

this is a very cool Idea, out of curiousity tho, why not treat the baffles like a second sump/refugium? then live foods can venture into the tank at free will. also can be a sweet breeder area of the tank for inverts and smaller fish. personally I think you have a sweet lil Idea there, I'm gonna follow this thread, as I am curious to see if the 350gph will be enough flow... after all you don't need a hell of a lot of flow for a refug...
