165 gallon system - back from the dead (just in time for Halloween!)

[fkshiu]

Some of you may recall this happening a few months ago:



After much hand wringing I sprung for a new 72x24x19 Seastar (about 3" taller than the old tank). I couldn't go any taller because of the height restriction in my basement, but I did get an external overflow which has been worth every penny in added space:



As some of you may recognize, this overflow also allowed me to utilize the infamous "Herbie" overflow setup. The legends are true about this thing - simple and dead silent. No more messing around with Stockman's and Dursos anymore!

And since I have developed a bizarre fetish for PVC plumbing parts, here's the underside of the overflow with unions everywhere (sort of like living in BC)
