    Thanks, its always a work in progress. I got the truvu tank all polished up and scratches removed then decided that the rear built in sump/overflow area took up too much area in the main tank and decided to sell it.

    Whoa, nice growth in 6 months (?)!
    How is the skimmer box chamber connected to the sump/fuge?

    Yeah especially the front birdsnest and purple stylo grow like weeds. The skimmer box is connected by a 2" bulkhead

    Hello Everyone,

    Sorry for the delay, but been super busy!! :( As others may know my 90gal build was quite extensive with a lot of delays in the beginning, but when it got going it moved a long quite nicely..
