    That's cool. So that looks like a peninsula tank? Where is the overflow and return plumbing going?

    it is a peninsula and the back of the tank will be up against a small closet that will house the overflow and water change containers.

    acrylic sump
    jebao d-4 dosing pump
    brs dual reactor

    Have you considered adding a smaller t5 fixture to supplement your LEDs? I did this on one of my tanks and I'm really happy with the results.
    Using the t5s along with your LEDs should allow you to get by with a cheaper fixture (smaller size or quantity of bulbs) and cut down on bulb replacement cost, as well as heat generated inside of the canopy. Just a thought ;)
