to the sump with an algae scrubber. May go to home depot tonight to hit up the plumbing department and see what I can come up with

 

Set up the return plumbing. And added in the begining of an aglae scrubber. Need to get another piece of pvc to extend left return down below water level. Just waiting on return pump to plumb that... lol

 

that is one big sump! so no return pump today? everything else is looking great!

 

Nothing yet. Sand and rock hopefully saturday. So hopefully pump comes by then! Cant wait to get this thing going! And yea I believe it is around 60gal sump! Lol

 

So apparently order for pump never went through. Didnt want to wait till sometime next week for pump so had him give me the sicce 5.0 with 20% off. So got $200 pump for $160! Now should be able to get this thing going tmrw soon as mail comes! Woohoo

 

woo hoo!! Boy, you are a man on a mission! Can I have some of that excitement and energy please

 

Fedex tracking says sand and rock out for delivery! So cant wait to get the aquascaping done when I get home. Then to start filling her up!

 

Awesome! What kind of scape are you planning on doing?

 

Oh boy theres the tough question! Lol I was thinking like a mountain on one end, that tapers down to like a foot of sand bed for an acan beach lol

 

Shoukd have got a lot more rock. Haha probably have at least 100lbs in my 75 so should fill out nicely.
