I have been working pretty hard to get things up and complete before I have to travel again. I am still working out some of the flow rates and making some minor adjustments here and there. All in all the fish seem to be very happy. My wife is happy because we have all but reclaimed the living room back now that the 110 is out in the garage. I have been dropping little hints trying to convince her to keep it and put a fahaka in it....we will see. Anyway wanted to show the progress and see what everyone thinks. I have included the filtration also. Maybe overdoing it but I have heard mixed comments and not one straight answer from anyone including the manuafacture.
I heard from one LFS that you need to cycle water 8-10x from another 4-6x from a manufacturer 3-4x. I also heard that you can overflow and not provide enough time for the air to water ratio in a wet / dry. who knows. I just know that I want it to be "sparkley" clean and clear.
Anyway I have included diagrams of the filtration system (mostly for my wife if something happens when I am out of town)
2- mag 12's running 100% My overflow boxis a custom with 4 tubes that will flow around 2400gph or more. I am running two Rena xp4's to polish water and two 18watt UV filters.
Check it out and tell me what ya think. I made the canopy so that I could have it just how I wanted to fit the lights.

I also included a picture or two of the Yellow Fins. They are doing great.

. I have tried to read and research and listen to all the advise from the people like yourself. I had this planned in my head and tried to be methodical in planning this setup. I will not be able to do another tank for sometime so this had to be right the first time. i still have a few details like making under the tank clean and presentable. I am very anal when it come to perfection. Thats why I asked for input here on the box to let me know thoughts or opinions. I appreciate your comments and look forward to some of the othe regulars here on the site.
