I hear ya...there are a few things a would do differently that's specific to my peninsula as well. I don't have more room for something much bigger, but little design changes and tweaks to how I used the internal overflow space...

Yes mista miyagi (have no idea how to spell that) i was so enamoured with jc's build that i had blinders on. Thank god for unions
The glue i used for the practice sumps were yellow and the primer was clear
I also think im going to see if chris can change one of the bulkhead sizes with out having to delay anything or change the overflow box size too much. That way i can go with 2 inch Edrains

I dont think this will be an issue but wanted to run this by you guys. Will using a single gate valve per siphon dtain still work with using tee's on both siphons into the sock holders so that i can use two socker per siphon drain ?
Basically will the tee'd end still allow me to maintain full siphon ?

As said above you should be fine as long as you have siphon doesn't really matter how it split entering sump, really.
Tank is finally shipping ! Woo hoo.
Chris liked the idea of going with the 2 inch Edrains and keeping the siphon drains at 1.5 inch. I wanted the ability to have the option of running the dct 12000's at a higher gph and not worry about e drains being able to handle them. Each should be able to handle aroumd 2200 gph
He also said that the universal rocks backround wasnt easy to work with around the overflows and glued black acrylic strips down the side panels towards the back where the cut edges of the backround were visible.
He said the cut edges of the panels were an ugly orange color.

Nice! What kind of 3D background did you have them put on? And how long will shipping take? Can't wait to see pics
He said the issues were hiding the color of the cut edges. They were this ugly beight orange. You can kind of see in the photo. It wasnt as pliable as we thought. He was initially going to try and wrap it around the overflow but wasnt able to get it to attach on all the edges so he had to kind of let the front edge hang offf a bit and cut it on an angle
