Looks great. What is the toal volume of that set-up? How many display tanks are plumbed together?

The one sump for all those tanks? You will be spending a lot of time keeping it refilled with water. Perhaps hook up an auto top-off plumbed to a large barrel out back.
 
ok here is the info. The tanks are 72x24x16 with coast to coast overflow on each tank. tanks are all acrylic with bottoms, sides and backs black. 2 tanks per bank running 1 sump measuring 48x24x16. retrun pump is the new reeflo blackfin 3600 running 2 tanks with 7 returns. total there are 6 tanks running 3 sumps. actually one is a refugium. all tanks have one way check valves to prevent flooding. we have a space limit for the tanks and filters. this is why we have these size tanks and filters. oh this is just one side. The other wall will have the same set up. Also have a 48x96x18 coral flat tank comming too. when all tanks are done we will have over 2000 gallons of saltwater tanks
