Why the frowny face in the title of your last post? Sump looks great. It sure looks like you maximized the space usage under the stand! What are you going to use for a skimmer?

Yes looks great. Looking forward to seeing it stocked so I can pop over

Waiting for mail order lol. Ya the sump just fits I thought the more water the better so it holds more than the display tank. Skimmer I'm going with a Vertex Omega 150 Protein Skimmer.

Just a question on the sump design. The 3 baffles on the left, does the middle one have a slot cut out of the bottom? I am assuming the baffles are to eliminate bubbles or are you storing ATO water in the sump as well?

The center one on the left is cut on the bottom like a arch.

That makes sense, just couldn't see it in the picture. Concept did a nice job on the sump.

Ya they did. I went in on Xmas eve (Monday) and they had it finished ready to go for Saterday morning. So they were really fast. And I seen a wicket tank there that gave me an idea for my next display tank. It was a L shape but it was like a tank ontop of a tank. Say a 48x36x18 but the back pane of glass came up and was the back pane for a smaller 48x12x12 and the water came over the edge of the top tank like a waterfall into the bottom tank. The only issue would be lighting.
