I built my own corner tank, sump, atnd and lid!
I was studying for my HNC in Electronic engineering, and the company I worked for wouldn't let me do my project on their technology (Trade secrets etc....) so I PLC controlled my tank instead!
pH, Salinity, dissolved oxygen, water levels, temperature, water leak detector and even a power-outage alarm!
OH eventually wanted to redecorate and the stone-effect paint didn't match, so she told me to get a new tank! So I opted for the bow-front corner tank, drilled it, took out the centre bar of the frame, re-enforced it and sumped the tank!
Tank is now in storage awaiting shipping to BC!
Jeez! I miss my tank!
Kenny
ps. I use relays now! Sold the plc on Ebay to fund my salt addiction! lol

With the help of TomR, I plumbed my own tanks which is cool considering I've been keeping fish for decades & used to always love the KISS tanks without sumps or the required plumbing.

I've also been very pleased with my aquascaping efforts.

Nothing currently. But still proud of my former tank, that was featured on RC. Shut it down when I moved and have not been able to come close since.

FWIW, I have never been much good at woodwork and am impressed by some of the outstanding stands & canopies you guys build.
