Everything is looking very good.

One concern as you have, Is it really worth the headache/worries to save the 4' of head on the surge and skimmer feed pump?

All in all the loss of that extra 4' is minimal. Especially given the entire build here!

Not that it can't be done and the way you have it looks like it should work. But if you go drilling holes and it doesn't work right or 2 yrs down the road a soloenoid/float sticks, etc....

Also I would go with atleast 3/4" plywood top deck and maybe two more cross braces (front to back) on that top frame..... is this just a perimeter bottom tank?

Any concern for the legs straigh down to the edge of that concrete foot? What if that crakcs chips gives way.....anyway to get that leg supported on the wood frame?
