    Still waiting for some help on that last question guys!!! Gotta step it up! ;)

    Okay, in regards to sump... I have 13 inches between bottom of the tank and the ground... So I dont think I'm going to be able to squeeze a sump in that bit of space (especially with a protein skimmer and what not). Kinda frustrated about that. Guess I'll have to figure out something else in that regards.

    Do you have room behind the tank inside the bar? Install bulkheads, plumb them together, and hook it to an external pump like a reeflo to it. Then from the pump run flexible line to a sump that would be higher than the tank. Bulkhead the sump and gravity flow back to the tank. You could run the flexible lines easily through the bar to sump location. pumping up to the sump is the same as from a sump to a dt.
