Hey everyone, well I got out of this hobby about 4 years ago and decided I would only start back up if and when I buy a home. The time has come and we move in about a month from now. I am already starting to plan my tank but have forgotten much that I learned. First I need to decide what kind of tank design I will need. I am hoping to house everything underneath my tank so I will most likely want a tank that is plumbed properly. My previous tank was a pretty janky set up with all of my plumbing coming out of the top of the tank and looping down around to the bottom, not very aesthetically pleasing to say the least. If anyone knows of a thread or guide to tank plumbing or a tank dealer/manufacturer that has some sweet plumbed tank designs please any info would be helpful. My primary concern here is a clean look.

Welcome back to the hobby! If you pop in to our Reef Discussion forum you'll find plenty of tank build threads that may give you some ideas.

I'm looking for 90-120, probably go with 120 since I'll be reinforcing my floor fort it anyway. To the poster before, what can you link a pic of the rimless cubes you're talking about? Thanks!
