Brandon, refresh my little pea brain….do you have the 700 Glass-Holes (single drain) or the 1500 GH (two drains)?
If it’s single, the order is fuge, skimmer, return. If it’s double, I have it set up with one drain in the fuge (right side), the other drain in the skimmer (left side) and the return section in the middle:
And if this

is a proposal, I could be talked into switching teams, but I’ll be the man and you……be yourself!
There is a glass shop right next to Sed Sand in Dunellen. That is where I got the glass for both of my sumps. I brought the tank there, they cut the glass and fit it to the width of the tank. I just told them how many and how tall I wanted the glass for each section.
3 Pcs. of 1/4" thick glass, cut and fit to the tank, was $25.
Here is how I have my 20L's set up:

So I decided to reuse my stand from my old 180g tank so in essence I'm placing a 48 x 18 tank on a 72 x 24 stand .
Good news is too I can reuse my 75g sump and thus I win! I was hoping to plumb it this weekend and pick-up salt from TB, but I'm called away for a family emergency :/.
Hoping next weekend or sometime during the week to get it done.

Glad to hear it, I was going to say, the 20L on my 65 is just at about the max limit. Add 10 more gallons and you might run into drain down issues (flood) with the 20L. For the 75 a 29G (
30 x 12 x 18
) or 30G (36 x 12 x 16)
sump would be a better choice.
Frag tank on the same stand? Might as well, you have enough room.
If I do a frag tank I am thinking of a 24 x 24 reef ready like the deep blue, but I need the overflow in the right corner.
I came home today from the hospital after the family emergency and tried to plumb the tank. Idk if it was the fact I was exhausted, but I think I need to re-think the plumbing. That or I am in over my head. Blah

Once the plumbing is done, tomorrow I'll post pics.
I need a few T-s and a hose to go from return to barb and I'm A-OKAY.
Surprisingly it went relatively smoothly except the wrong hole saw and misplacing some fitting. It also came to my attention that I should probably aquascape and do my sand before the waterOH: But never fear for I have a plan, I'll drain the display into my brute cans and into the sump then ta-da I can have a dry tank, but the water ready on hand.
