End Overflow on long reef tank

I'm looking to design and build a large reef for 3-sided viewing. Basically I'm looking for setups where the overflow is on one end of the tank ... trying to get sump / return and CL ideas for this kind of setup.

May also go BB.

Would appreciate any pictures / comments.

Might not be exactly what you are looking for, but here is the link to my build. 8' tank with a single, side overflow.

Hop - thanks for the post ... I remember following your thread for a bit. Now I seem to be having problems with the pics.

huskerreef - nice lagoon! Is that the refugium for the tank??

My concern is water flow / plumbing of both the sump and a CL in a "end-design" system. I think Bomber ran one on his BB, but not sure. Time to search.

Bomber - That's what I was looking for! A while back I thought you had a thread that showed your plumbing setup ... but I didn't find a link with pics.
