    I like the return through the overflow, never thought of that. Mine will be over the top, but the sides are about 3-4 inches taller than the back on my 75 so it will all be hidden. Nice work, can't wait to see it in action. :)

    :gorgeous::upgrin:

    Thanks, it was inspired by Reef Sparky's nano.
    I had thought about putting it through but wasn't sure about it interferring with the silence of the BeAn till he did it.
    Also I didn't want any cords, etc. more than absolutely necessary to go through/over the back since I plan on using plastic window screen attached to strip magnet tape (with matching tape on the hood and trim of the tank) to repel any would be skydiving fish. :hehe:

    Now i NEED a return pump, but may need to wait a bit since I've spent too much this last 2 months.

    I think I finally got the last 2 pinhole leaks on the overflow plugged last night, and ordered a mag 9.5 on a BRS group buy for the overflow.

    Now I just need some 3/4 inch pipe, some fittings and a ball valve (to send some of the return water to the fuge.

    Ahh..........there is just something about bow fronts. I wonder if they make a 300 bow front??? :D Just curious, I didn't see it posted in the thread or maybe I just missed it, what did you do with all the stuff that were in the tank during this transition?
