Thanks guys, it will be a challenge to plumb but I do have a plan in my head on how I want to do the plumbing, now as long as I can get it out of my head and make it look they way I want is another question. I am going to be doing a dual bean animal style OF and still have to divide the OF box in half.

Looks like a cool project. That is a lot of holes drilled in the back. What pump are you going to use to run the closed loop?
