Yep, I sure did. I would opt out for Reef Savy, but they don't make them currently. There are two vendors who sell on eBay, I got mine from Modular...

I updated the first post with some new parts. Here's what I am thinking for the filtration. I wanted to get a ghost overflow, but seems reef savy...

Long time since an update. Doors are done. Went with a quick and cheap way of plywood and edge bending tape in cherry. Appreciate some thoughts....
Everything on MD is too long, and I would like to avoid putting the stem on the inside of the tank as it would be ugly. Glass-holes used to carry...
