we started this project back in May, had a few delays for many reasons but finally got the Pod running Monday and everything moved in last night. We used spare LR and corals we had in the sump and frag tank and this tank is connected to our other tanks so its pretty much fill it and go.

We used a 24g aquapod and i took the back compartment out, had 2- 1" holes drilled into it.

made the stand a "built in" type like all our other tanks

still need to paint the stand and make a door but its good enough for now

i used the glass top that cam with the pod to make the over flows, just cut it to the size i wanted and silicone it in. the over flow pipes are PVC painted black

why don't you flip the elbows on your stand pipes over so the opening is facing up? as long as the lip of the elbow is not higher than the lip of the tank, your water level will be up to the top of the tank, and still function fine.
