I think it's the other way haahaa! Probably stack rock in the middle and have the two sides "drop" away.

rickcasa has it right.

I plan to fill the two sides with a DSB. I was going to fill them all the way with sand, but recommended depth for DSB is 6" max so I will put some plenums in at about 5" the center part will have rocks to the top of the DSB and I will place my corals up from that in the center. I have the 4 way running under the rocks so should have good flow in the center section.

Update.
Finished the plenum and some of the plumbing. I need to take the Ocean Motion off of my other tank still, but that will be a bit later. I did put in some water and rock from my other tanks to get things moving along.
I also bought one of those Speedwaves for my return pump. I was going to run my Dart but I will keep that as a back up for my other tank now.
Some pictures of the progress.
