120 Bookcase build

I have been lurking on Reefcentral for some time now, and I am now close to finishing my 120 gallon tank. This has been over a year in the making, but I think it was worth it. My goal was to re-design my office and on one wall put in a 12 foot bookcase with a 120 gallon tank in the middle.
My last tank was an 80 gallon and I did a lot of things wrong but still had good success. I think this time will definately be even better. Some stats, the tank is 120 gallons 4x2x2. It is starfire glass on the front three viewing planes. The tank is drilled for a four input closed loop and an overflow with the sump return and the closed loop return in it. Here are some screen shots of the build in progress.

This is the base units for the bookcase and the tank installed. In this picture we are doing a water test of the closed loop system.


Here is the guts of the closed loop system. At this point the sump has not been plumbed yet. I have an oceans motions 4-way and a sequence dart that can be seen in this picture.


Here is another shot of the oceans motions 4-way.

Finally a picture of the back inputs from behind the tank.
