    so after a month or so i finally started my 50 gallon acrylic BF with 25 gal sump project to upgrade my 40 gallon with no sump the stand is painted black from the original owner so i decided to repaint it to freshen it up. The tank had some paper glued to the bottom (wouldnt see it anyway but decided to get as much off as possible). i also picked up my gen-x 4100 for my return pump. my stand for the tank is 5 foot 2 inches tall. Here are some pics of the progress. let me know what you think!! I hope to have this up and running by the end of the month.
