Nice!

Only thing i can think of for flow and keep the tank clean of equipment is do the powerhead in the false wall and/or loop the SCWD returns around the top of the tank and pushing water back towards the false wall. Not much room in the back for equipment though.

From the look of the Acan on the 40 thread it looks like its going to stay close to that color scheme, but possibly color up more. The light peachish color with deeper orange mouths. I guess we'll have to wait and see. :) Looks to be an Acanthastrea Echinata. I assume you are just fragging the mother and putting a frag in this 10gal?

Jump i held a 3/4" SCWD today and my god, smaller then i thought. Still probably 5" wide but holding it, it seemed like it'd fit in a back comparment fine. If you fit it in diagonally you might be able to make it work. Hoses off each side might be a problem.

But to tell you the truth, having it outside of the tank somehow shouldn't be a problem, you could easily hide this thing. I was truely impressed, and amazed at how small it really was....i guess i under estimated what 5" looked like.

Yeah, im prettu sure its crammable lol. Actually i think it will work out great. Ill have MJ1200 or quietone pump as my other return, as I already have one going through the false wall. Ill run tubing long enough so that the outputs are a little higher than the flase wall, and from the outputs ill put 3/4" PVC going to each side of the flase wall, then lockline or PVC elbows. should work...

i have to say i wouldnt have gone with the false wall... i would have left it all open (more room to grow out frags :p ) and instead gone with a HOB fuge... very nice work so far though!
