    When i first started up this tank i sprayed rubberized paint and then painted over that with gloss white paint. I thought this would do the job as far as keeping water spills and accidents from ruining the wood bottom. I guess that didn't work because when i took out the filtration water had gotten thru. It peeled like a banana. So yesterday I went to Home Depot and go an 8 foot length of shower pan material and a can of spray adhesive for plastic and rubber.

    I sprayed the bottom and glued the material down. This should work, I hope.

    Since I decide to redo my filtration, I thought i might as well redo everything. I'm having Marc from Melevsreef custom make a new sump which will give me the Same amount of water volume as I had with my old sump and wet/dry which took up my entire length of my stand. Can't wait to get it but it will be a while. I'll post pics when I get the sump. Here's my old setup

    Today's,project was my power center. Having a short sump gives me the room I need to create a centralized location to mount all of my power strips for my Reefkeeper Elite. Here is how it's turning out. Hope you like. Feedback is always welcomed.
