Finally setup system again, already planning a new one LOL
 

I finally got my system up and running again after moving in April.

Unfortunately my new house was designed to house a much larger system and I accidentally stumbled across a picture of my dream setup, whoops. LOL So I may not even bother buying any livestock.

I had no intentions of building a bigger system until I started looking at the structural design of the house where my tank sits now, the ease of access to the basement and how easy it would be to make my own tank out of plywood and glass panels. The sump will be 100% plywood with a lid to retain evaporated water.

Current system is a 55 gal w/30 gal basement sump/fuge.

The new system will be indentical to the pic except my tank will be 72" x 24" x 24"
My sump will be 96" x 17" x 24" (or 36" not sure yet) and I will turn my current 30 gal sump into a dedicated fuge.
I hope to start building within the next month or two.
