etacovda yes I am over at bit-tech (I don't recognize your name) and indeed this is for a modding project, I'm a welding and fabrication major and I'm working on my junior year project. I'm trying to get away from building simple square frame cases and do some creative pipe bending (hey we have a hydro former and cnc pipe bender). It's clearly for looks, I'm just hoping its functional enough. Both pumps would be ran inline and the pond pump could be throttled back. Another thing is If I mount the pump at the bottom would I have to worry about the head? only roughly half the distance would be vertical, would that effect flow much?
Off the top of my head 88 feet of thin schedule pipe would be <35 lbs but I can't remember I mostly work with L schedule pipe. I don't think this would be a heavy case to work with (just big)

The interior will probably be a rather standard TIG welded extruded almuminum box frame the globe would be 2 acrylic domes.
