This looks to be a VERY innovative way to build a drop-off tank!

I can't wait to see more pics!

Added 2 young black clowns, 2 azure damsels, and a GBTA along with 50 lbs of rock for the drop off.

Then added a 1350 GPH circulation pump to the area under the drop off to keep debris from building up there. I could have gone to 2000 GPH even.



More aquascaping and rock transfer this week.

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.
