Great project.
One suggestion though, the overflow box that you haven't built yet, don't bother. Since you won't be running a skimmer, the only advantage to surface skimming will be to keep that slime layer from forming on the surface of the water, (and that can be dealt with with a little surface agitation).
The down side would be that unless the water level in the overflow box was kept even with the surface in the rest of the tank, you'd get water running down into the box creating bubbles which would get sucked right into the CL pump and then mashed into very annoying micro bubbles shooting out all over the place. The box would also take up a lot of space for little benifit.
(or did you already drop the overflow box idea but I missed it? )
How's the learning cure on SolidWorks, AutoCad it foreign to me now, last version I had was like 10 years ago.
Basic modeling isn't to bad you can catch on pretty easy but it can get a little tricky when it comes to surfaces and complex assemblies.
that looks like you are gonna be sucking some air into the pump
Looks nice. Did you use that epoxy on the overflow box?
