Thanks Bean,
I agree with you on the room divider vs. the pennisula. I finally brought the tank home today and sat it in the room to acutally see what I would be working with and am swaying toward the room divider. With this in mind I will probably have overflows on each side of the tank for a total of 48" and more uniform skimming. What do you think of this idea? How would I setup drains if I were to do this?
You mentioned an external overflow, I've always read in the event of a power failure the overflow may loose its siphon and cause the return pump to overflow the tank and cause the pump to run dry. Is there a way to ensure the overflow would begin siphoning normally in the event power was returned without manual priming? If this is the case not lugging this heavy aquarium to have it drilled would be great. Again thank you for your help.
Thankyou for the info on the close loop that was my next area for developing.
