    Did all my chorse on my 55g, then realised I had nothing to do. Decided to open this bad boy and make sure everything is ok. I read some people had broken pieces in theirs.

    From my measurements, you need 11" x 10" of space to fit this thing in. It's 22" tall. You need another half an inch tops to remove collection cup.

    Forgot to add. Build quality is amazing. All components just feel solid in your hands.

    To quote Boris the Sneaky Russian, Boris the Bullet Dodger:
    "Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it."

    Going a little bit off the deep end here :)

    Gonna make sure everything fits. Will also model all the plumbing and skimmer/fuge/return compartments here.

    Tank is finished and will ship this week. So pumped! Great Lake Aquariums sent over some teaser pics. I'll be converting overflow to Herbie, plumbing everything with PVC and will ditch the filter basket. Sump has 5g water reservoir for ATO and typical 3 chamber setup.
