    Hello everyone, I am pleased to share my new 75 gallon build.. I have come a pretty long way considering I started with a 5gal nano sized tank.. I been in the hobby for a few years and I just moved in to my new appartment so I decided to add a nice display tant for it .. hope you like it:)

    From the bottom up..spent 60 bucks on predrilled tank cant beat that..I actually wanted to go larger but didnt want it to be an overkill considering Im living in a 800 sq foot place:

    Great build - love your woodwork. What kind of sump pump is that?
    What are your plans for your sump? Fuge? Skimmer?
