I finally finished it.
A 50 gallon long sump/refugium.
My tank sits in the dining room and the sump/fuge is on the otherside of the wall in the garage.
Here is the back of my tank with the single Sea-Swirl.

Two shots of the COMPLETED set-up.
It has been up and running with no leaks or problems for 5 hours as I type this.

Looks great Sean! I will never have another serious reef tank without a remote sump/refugium.
Is you garage heated?

NO it is NOT. That has become a concern for me.
Was thinking of securing insulation around the tank for the next month.
