Hey spipe,
Nice build, I like the black pipe for the overflow/return hide. Did you think of maybe gluing rods or small shelves to the pipes so that you could attach coral later on and have sort of a "dock pylon" look with corals and stuff growing up them? May be a little late since it looks you've already added water, though not too much to consider draining the tank at this stage. Just a thought

Are you going to put some sort of mesh on the overflows to keep snails out

You could also attach things using 2 part epoxy... the same kind that is used in mounting corals... I've used that to attach things while the tank was up and running... just a suggestion...

What kind of two-part do you recommend and where do I get some? Sounds useful.
