Can we see some center overflow aquascapes?

I just tore down my 120 to redo the flooring, thanks to my complex

.

I'd love to see what those with a center overflow are doing with their rock.

My first ever 'scape. Plan to redo it soon.

Very cool setup. I also have 3 vegas and a trigger sump/fuge.

Off topic but how are you plumbing things? It looks like you have an air hose up top? How is that working out for you?

My overflow has 5 bulkheads (three 1"and two 3/4") so I'm running a Bean Animal. That pic is about a year old. The tank has been up for 2 1/2 years now.

Bill Nye is someone I admire greatly! Great handle! Anyways I've got kind of a pseudo frag rack / superstructure thing going here. My tank is a month old.

Very cool.

I'm considering sealing one of two drilled returns and using the one of the left as an emergency line to simulate a sort of bean/herbie method, while plumbing the return with pvc above the tank.

Has anyone done this? See any problems with it?

I'm a slave to symmetry to a point and aesthetically I had to have equal twin discharges. I do readily admit that a redundant drain is a smart thing to do however. In my case, the center main drain is so huge that I just don't see it ever clogging...(knock on wood)
