post-2633885-0-21145300-1393897624_thumb.jpg clear check valve for the return. We're using an Eheim 1262 on the return and a 9.5 mag on the skimmer. Two 100 watts heaters. Will post more pictures later after we do our test.

Thanks to all of our friends at WAMAS for pointing us in the right direction.

Very nice! I would suggest finding some way to support that drain or return from the right hand side. It looks like it's fairly long (5' or so?) and once water starts pouring through, it will put a lot of stress on it.

 

Can't wait to see it wet!
