Mostly I'm going to love the tidier layout of the sump and under tank area.

Good progress today. The sump is mostly done. Tommorrow I'll water test it and get the last of the work done on it.
       I do want to also replace the skimmer but that will be another time. Not sure what I want yet, but would like something with a smaller footprint. This Aqua-C is freaking huge.

Wow that looks great. Where did you get the acrylic from. And how much did it cost?

The acrylic was from Industrial Paint and plastics. I used one full 48" x 96" sheet with just a few small pieces and some scraps left over. The cost was just over $200 including some solvent weld and a new applicator. Turns out the half bottle I had on hand was enough anyway so the new can is untouched.
I also picked up a new plastics/laminates blade at KMS Tools for my table saw which made the work easier as the cuts were perfect and clean for the joints with no additional prep required. That was another $90 but I'll get lots of use out of it for many other projects with plastics.
