For the sump, the water is pumped from a submersible pump behind the biggest rock, through PVC on top of the canopy and into 2 filter socks. The rest of the sump has 2 heaters and pot scrubbers. There are 4 2 inch drains back into the tank. It's a very simple setup and works well, easy to clean.
The heat sinks are the backs of the 3 20 watt led flood lights in the canopy. There's also a 4 foot t5 for UVB for the turtle and a dome light with a ceramic heat emitter.

Ah finally found your build thread. disregard the message i sent.

gotta say this is one of the nicest plywood tank i have seen. nice and clean and looks like something you would want in your home.
thinking about one myself...

any bowing or deflection? did you add any corner support?
