    Pics of my not so final plumbing.

    Not much will change, but I will get around to tidying it up a bit yet.

    I sold my old 35g to be used as a sump tonight, and the same people are going to buy my old 90g on Monday. Looks like I will be getting better reflectors sooner that I thought.

    Yeah, there is a lot of stuff in that 75g sump. I need to get it better organized, but at least I can do that whenever.

    Haha, i was thinking the same thing.... awesome that you have that kind of space though instead of banging your head under your tank..... that was a screw!!

    Yeah, it took me a very short amount of time to determine the sump under the tank was a bad idea.

    So now it will go partially under the upcoming 8' x 2foot wide x around 1' tall 120g frag tank.

    sounds like advanced with the large tank to the left when you walk in. Just need your viewing squares. Make sure you have a fridge stocked to the left so decisions will be made easier ;)

    so, i'm in the beginning stages of planing my predator woody and was wondering, is there anything to keep me from doing a wood sump as well? i know you stuck with the glass but was that just because you got that from your friend? i thought that a wood sump would be easier to pump and pop holes into than a glass and i would already be buying epoxy and everything...
