I decided to go with 4 1 inch holes for the returns and 4 1.5 inch holes for the drains. At this point the next major hurdle was getting this bad boy to my basement. and breaking down the 90 gallon that I had setup. A lot of the corals were sold since I wasn't going to have room in my temp setup. Thankfully I had some really nice neighbors that came over to help get it down the stairs. Only cost me a case of beer! Here's a picture of it setting in front of the 90.

Now I'm sure everyone wants to know what equipment I decided to use, lights,skimmer,pumps,ect..
So here is a quick run down..
Skimmer- Reef Octopus Classic 200 INT
Return Pump- Waveline DC
Lights- DIY Leds- will show a few pics later on
Flow- Ecotech MP40 wes x2
APEX- Controlling all

After finally getting my 90 broken down and sold I could finally start on plumbing and getting this big guy going.

Dry Fitting some plumbing

Trying to make it look nice..

Already running in to an issue... when test fitting the skimmer under the stand I only had about an 1.5 inches above it.
