[Mattgesy]

here is it with water, and the sump, dont worry everyone the skimmer isnt on lol nothing in the sump yet, gotta go buy some stuff after work,, i still have more sand to put in the bottom, i just put in one bag for now, salt levels are good and everything, can't wait :D oh also your knoticing the plastic bag on the drain to the sump, its becuase it had a killer splash on it, putting water outside of the sump not in, so its causing it to stay in the sump now, going tobuy some pipe tomorrow to fix that

nice setup keep us updated:wink:

[Skimmerking]

Looks great man.. love the open look with the light

[Mattgesy]

thanks guys,
had no choice with the light it doesnt fit in the little hood, i wouldnt even call it a hood. more like framing, i like it, it still makes it look good though

[SeaSerpant]

nice. what kind of pump do you have?

[Mikee]

Looks like a Eheim 1262? I have the same on my 100g..great pump!

[chevyjaxon]

[Mattgesy]
