Diy sump for a 55 gl

[Coralgurl]

I'm going to keep looking into a sump, but likely going to leave it for now. I realized today I wasn't maintaining my filter properly and this is likely why my tank looks the way it does. Will see what happens over the next while. I did look at smaller tanks for a sump and I don't know if it's worth it.

I did pick up a vertex ro unit today, working on getting it set up.
