Fred, did you post this on DFWMAS already? Or at least Reef Central?
Nice tank, but I'm actually looking for a larger one.

I'm on the fence right now. A 180 or a 240, or even a 300 with a
propagation zone are all on the drafting table.

I like the 6x2x2, the 8x2x2, but I also have continually toyed with an
L-shaped tank. Now I'm thinking about a 6x4x2 with an internal set of
walls to make it appear to be an L, with the prop zone on the other side
of the wall.

I was thinking of building a tank with an internal set of walls as well.
I assume you're planning on acrylic? And perhaps, given what you've done
with sumps, you're going to build the whole thing yourself?

I don't have your talents (or equipment), but I've been contemplating trying
to put together a large tank with a number of compartments. E.g. a (visible)
refugium, a low-flow section for seahorses, a compartment for sea anemones
with clownfish (my current anemones go walking through my corals every once
in awhile), and finally a large section as a typical reef.

It seems pretty straightforward to me, and similar to what some fish stores
have (in order to display separate merchandise for sale). But I haven't seen
many other hobbyists attempt a tank with partitions, so I'm wondering if I'm
missing some critical detail that makes it really difficult.

Don,

I'm really thinking glass. Acrylic simply scratches too easily, and I
know I don't want to be buffing out scratches on a regular basis. Using
GP would help because it is a harder acrylic... but I'm already
scratching the GLASS tanks as it is!

You can make a partitianed tank if you like. Flow will be dictated the
way you configure the plumbing. Try to avoid stagnat zones by keeping
the surface rippling in each section. Or have the all overflow into a
channel. Or have some type of surface skimmming drain to keep
gas-exchange working.

Other than that, sounds like you've got a cool setup planned.
