The tank itself is an all-glass 125 gal.
How much of that volume is the actual operational capacity while serving as the display tank's sump is something I have yet to caculate. If I were to guess, probably 40-50%.

Hooray -the plumbing is essentially complete. <see pics> I plan to water test by week's end. My disclaimer should be obvious by all the pruple residue, I have never plumbed anything before in my life. I am most worried about the Right intake line of closed loop I had a very difficult time getting the flex PVC into the elbow since the space was small.
Fortunately, this is an area where a small leak would likely be aceptable. Right?
I mean the water would simply leak into the overflow area.

Lookin sweet my man!

Is that spa flex tubing?.... I was just looking at some, and the 1" stuff i wanted said 1" ID... so im wondering how you worked it into a standard size fitting?

Nice job. What's that gray part above the ball/union valve? It looks like some sort of manifold but has a power cord attached to it.
leoslizards; That is a motorized valve that constantly rotates the inside gating, to send the water out various outlets in a cyclical manner to create constantly changing flows in the tank.

Ahh cool. It's like an electric version of a SCWD. I've never seen this before. Expensive though. :|
It's sched 40 flex PVC, or so the they advertise. Nevertheless, it seemed to fit perfectly inside the unions. Of course, the true test will come when I run water through the line. <gulp>
