Very nice. If you bring the wall to the front won't you lose a lot of viewing capability from the side?

Ya sorry, I guess I should have worded that better. The wall behind the tank is opened up. Basically the side of the tank will be brought out but with the viewable glass framed in so you can still see in from that side.
(if my rambling makes sense? lol)

Oh, don't go on about saying something the wrong way on here ....
It happens all the time, and then no-one listens to you - right Brett ?

Rambling is good. It's your build. If you re-read it, and it still makes sense, post it. Too bad for the poor buggers who have to read it
All they want are pictoors anyway

Then you get the occasional help ... funny how things go
No-one there to lift stuff, then they want to help you change your water while you're at work.
Is Reef-rape indictable ?

The smaller sump was real tricky to fine tune the water levels, especially trying to get the overflow at the right height. Either way tho I'd be in a pickle without one so I appreciate it for sure!!
