Marc`s 1k gallon system.

Then was the tank and sump, (not really in that order..)

The sump was an old fiberglass vat that I had for curing live rock a few years back, it needed some heavy work to make it suitable for the new tank.

I had to repair all the old bulkhead holes, and sand gelcoats off for the areas that needed baffles.
It is 370 gallons.

Sanded...excuse the dust on the camera lense









Then, backing for glassing the baffles in, after waxing it up for later removal.



then slid back for next baffle...



Beefin it up abit & patchin holes.





Applying internal baffles to steer water over a central point where the heaters were intended to be (still havent placed them there..lol.)



Then i applied a few more coats of resins and final coats with gel, and then came a bigger fiberglass project....the tank.

is the plywood in the sump just as a template for the fibreglass baffles? in the last picture it looks as though the wood is removed.
