This looks amazing! You can really see the planning that went into your build.
I can't wait to see it filled up. Keep the updates coming!

Looks very nice so far. However, I see return flow problems on the right side return the way you have your plumbing planned.

1st'- the' T' above the 90 elbow that leads to the right side return would be much better suited as a wye, not a 'T'.

2nd- without a ball valve under your left side bulkhead you'll have no way to force flow to the right side. The 'T' I mentioned above is going to want the water to flow straight up to the left return.

Thank you !

I did this diagram planing out the plumbing but I didn't do it like that just because of the problems you mentioned above ,

there is no more T on the left side and the there are ball valves inside each overflow box to control flow

I will do a new diagram with the actual plumbing so you guys can give me some opinions

Sounds well thought out. Good job. In response to your comment about the ball valves in the overflow, they could be extremely difficult to manipulate in that tight space. I'd probably try to locate them under the bulkhead if it were my tank.

no space to put them under the overflow

no space to put them under the overflow

I know that headache all too well. :banghead:

GL with the remainder of the build. I'll be checking it out.
