    Go slow let it grow... I get it but just ONE thing that naturally grows a little faster than my saving account? LOL

    Just saying it would be nice :)

    Inwall!

    I knew you'd want to see that fuge you've had so many questions to field about it LOL

    it has turned out pretty good I think... we'll see when the water starts flowing but so far so good.

    I tested it by filling the center part (fuge) with water to the top of the lower baffle and everything help with no leaks or glass breaking, then added the 4 inches of silicate sand. working on the overflows (diy pvc) like on Covey's thread. Just too busy today at the store to get them built. maybe tomorrow they'll be done and the pump in!

    If I can dig out my cam I'll get a pic of the sump but it won't be a good one LOL... it doesn't have much room above it. Not sure if my skimmer is going to fit down there yet :(
