Well I ended up doing a 75 gal basement sump for the 125, I finished getting the system plumbed last night and enough saltwater mixed up to get it moving water.
i am (since the tank is empty life wise) still filling it with ro/di right now and will kick the salinity back up once I get home.
I then need to drain the 50 or so gallons of saltwater in to my storage contianers and pull the sump down to drill and install the baffles.
so it is getting really close!

I'll try to get some pics up this weekend.

Current equipment:
2 Seio 2600's
1 Panworld 100PX (or something... Blueline HD40 equiv)
1 ASM G3 skimmer with gate valve on it's way.

Looks like its coming along nicely man. The only thing I would suggest is doing the mod on the Sieo pumps so you dont use the suction cups. If one of those things falls off of the glass (which they will eventually) you are going to have a sand storm from hell.

That is EXACTLY what I am talking about. You can also put them on magnets so you can put the pump any depth you want. Otherwise you will likely be pulling in air from the surface with that size of PH.

If i do the magnet thing I want it as clean as the tunze setup :)

pretty stable surprisingly. It's already been nicknamed "Stonehenge" so it's probably going to be slightly rearranged.
