New 200 gallon in-wall setup (was: cracked center brace)

I also placed the refugium I bought into the fish room. Any "best practices" or other tips on plumbing it in this sort of location (i.e. same level as the sump) to minimize energy consumption? I considered some sort of loop incorporating the chiller and maybe an optional UV sterilizer?

Anybody have any ideas on how to achieve a natural look?

Load it full of pretty corals so you dont see the rock. In the mean time. IMO a couple peices of tonga branch or something unusual will help.

As far as the fuge being the same level as the sump. I'd recommend building a pedestal for it to sit on so gravity can work for you.
