Here are the plans:
It's a 190 Gallon Starphire.
It is 60x30x24
It has a trapeziod center overflow with 8 holes in the bottom of the overflow box.
Here is an older picture of when I was planning on having 2 overflow boxes. It gives the general idea of what I am doing... if you just imagine consolidating both overflow boxes into one, and putting it in the center of the tank.

There are 2 holes in the sides of each overflow. One is for closed loop drains, and one is for closed loop returns (through locline).
Euro Bracing around the entire tank. Euro Bracing will accomodate Sea Swirls, so that they do not hang off of the back of the tank.
The overflow box contains 2 1" durso's. The sump water will be returned via 2 1" sea swirls.
When the tank is set up, there will be no plumbing, wires, pipes, etc visible, with the exception of the locline returning water from the closed loop.
All equipment (and noise) will be in the basement.
Quick rundown of equipment:
2 1" Sea Swirls
2 250W IceCap Ballasts powering 10K hallides
4 VHO's powered by IceCap 660.
EuroReef CS6-2 (rated for approx. 400-600 gallons)
Iwaki 70 for the closed loop
Iwaki 40 for the sump return
Koralin Calcium reactor (rated at 400 gallons)
and lots of other "small" stuff, like my Ph probe, thermometers, heaters, etc.
Have at it with questions/comments and critics please!
