Got busted buying some plumbing parts yesterday during Brett's regular stalking routine so I figure I should probably post a little update.

Decided to rebuild my sumps since I pretty much have the equipment I want figured out and I was getting tired of how it was setup before. Always room for improvement and with the help of a friend I came up with a more efficient and simplistic way of setting things up. I've also been itching to build some acrylic sumps again

Here's what it looked like before I started:



Here's the new acrylic sumps to replace the old glass ones:

This one is basically a frag tank, the black boarder around the base will support my new custom frag racks that I still need to make.


This one will hold all the equipment.



Here's some midway pics from this morning





And here's my progress so far, plumbing pretty much all done.



Here's my basic plumbing layout

Looks good Steve! I can't wait to give the setup a try on my tank. Denny said he was going to send me some pictures of the tank soon.

Where is your overflow water draining into? I see a line that runs along the bottom of your top sump but can't tell where it connects to. The return from the lower sump is on the top right corner correct?

What happens at rona stays at rona I was giving you a free pass

Did you build the sumps yourself? Those look sick! What thickness did you use?
