Why not just skip the SCWD and build a controller to alternate the each pump cycle.

Less to go wrong with the SCWD then going though all the trouble to build a controller and it not work right. Plus the DC pump ramp up slower then most pumps as you know.

Have you bought the pumps yet? The new ones have built in 0-10V ability, but aren't out yet. Pretty sure building a controller for the old ones wouldn't be all that difficult either. I've been waiting for someone else to do it so I can copy them, hence my suggestion In terms of reliability can't see much going wrong, never had issues with controllable DC pumps like Tunze before, at least not relating to the controller portion of it.

WOW
Tagging along on this one buddy, My question is:
Although you have tons of room, why did you decide to go with the internal overflow over an external one ? Can't wait to see the closed loop setup

Have you thought about a closed loop for this tank?

Thanks Chris, hopefully this weekend I will be able to get the rest of the tank assembled.
Thanks Dougster. The 60 gal cube will be added to the right hand side of the tower stand & the 30 gal might go one the left hand tower or under the 60 gal as a frag tank.
