200 Gallon setup?

[amartin7589]

I have a 200 gallon acrylic tank with three internal overflow boxes. I want to set this tank up (cheapest way, DIY) but i do not know how to set up the plumbing into the overflow boxes and i dont even know if i need all three of them. I have been reading articles on how to make sumps so i should be good thier but i just dont understand why three overflows and it also has i think two bulkheads maybe?? any help would be appreciated, thanks PICS BELOW

humm well first thing would be the support for the top, it looks a little bit skimpy. for that size of a tank the braces should be a lot bigger. the openings are huge! but as for filtration there are many different variations on how to get it done, every tank manufacture has there own way of thinking this is the best way to acheive optimal filtration. I mean the tank is kinda long so with 3 overflows debre wont stay around for long... but with 3 overflows there will be a significant amount of plumbing to be done.
