    So i have finally gotten around to making this build thread for my 225g tank. This build began last year and this tank has been running now. I have been changing many equipment.

    Overall, the final project should look something like this.
    The pic shows the exact height I am when I stand next to the tank.

    Plan to use the internal skimmer instead of external skimmer (I have more room inside the stand). Replaced the external 300 Bubble King deluxe skimmer with a brand new Bubble King Supermarin 250 Internal.

    The sump, it's around 100g (48"Lx24"Dx20"H) make by 3/8 inches Cast Acrylic. I have more room for the big skimmer, Refugium and frags area.

    Here are couple pictures of my sump.

    Nice setup. You build the sump yourself?
