    I should have posted this on this thread not my other.

    I am building a new sump for when I do my change. It will be 48 x 20 x 20, made from Acrylic. Following a similar build that I have seen before. Using 3/8" acrylic and will have a built in 4 sock holder - right after the intake, built in drop and dosing tube holders, 9" baffles for the bubble trap and drilled for both return pumps. This way I am not down for 24 hours will I silicone my existing sump.

    I cant wait to pick up my sump! I get it on Wednesday and Thursday will do the swap and get the skimmer hooked up. I went with new manifolds for ease of use - I dont like how the others were.
    So the plan is the Hammerhead will run the DT, the 75 and the Frag tank and the Dart will run all accessories, skimmer and Fuge.

    I think. Might change it up slightly like the HH to just run DT and 75 and everything else on Dart.

    So how much are the aquarium tickets and what time is it open to the public :)
    You are one very motivated person. Keep up the hard work you certainly have a setup to be proud of.
