Default 20G w/ 10G sump Build. *From scratch!*

Ok not completely!

The tanks and electronics are not.

Here is my plan:

20G show tank, with a 10 gallon sump underneath, and a 10 gallon isolated tank underneath that.

I am building a stand and canopy from scratch, a bit wider than the 20 gallon to allow for storage to the left of the main tank. I will be making my own fan setup, lighting, LED moonlights, plumbing, drilling tank and building overflow, and finally making my own liverock.

PS. This is the first time I've tried anything like this, wish me luck!

Here is what I have done so far!

Jeff

The 20gallon, $36 from Aquagiant w/ a glass top.


The two 10 gallons in the storage room, filled and covered with supplies lol.


The workshop! LOL


The beginning of the frame for the stand.


Will update when there is more!

So now I have decided to just use my 30 gallon as the show tank. Frame is almost complete!



The 10 gallon will actually be on the upper shelf, and I'm thinking maybe two 5 gallons on the bottom for frags and a hospital tank.

No offence, but it looks crooked and unlevel?? Hope its just the camera playing tricks. Leeds to be perfectly level or the tank may crack.
