no but i'll buy 3 bio-wheel 350's and have them running alongside the 10g sump i hope to build for more mechanical filtration. i could get them relatively cheap.

I just worry about the tanks shifting and the glass breaking at the connections. Maybe someone will have something to say about this. You may have to hold each tank in place with wood trim around the base or countersink them individually into the stand so they will not move relative to one another.

does the tanks height cause a problem when building an overflow box? - the only reason i wanted the middle tank to be bigger or smaller, was for an artsy look. if it'll cause a problem, i might have to change the design of the entire tank set-up except for where i want to place my sump tank.
here look at this:
that's what i hope to go for, but with 3 tanks, since i wanted that artsy look. i understand your concern, but if this tank didn't break(i've seen some in stores, and know a person who owns one) i'm sure a custom tank with a similar look will. especially when being helped by people like you!
edit: okay i've thought of something.
i could buy 3 bio-wheel 350 HOB filters, and have my 10g sump i hope to build connected to the middle tank with a strong return pump, overflow box and perhaps a 10x turnover rate. will the side tanks(20g's) get good, if not decent filtration(disregarding the HOB filters i'll be placing there)?
