I wish I could get a deeper tank. But 24" is my max otherwise it gets in the way of walking inbetween the tank and my kitchen island

Bored... SO I figured I'd post pics of how I re-built my bottom return sump.

It looked like this when I started. I think it was designed for freshwater, with the shelves on the left etc.



So I stripped all the baffles:







Then got a couple more baffles and a dual 4" filter sock holder from concepts and started putting everything back together:

Love the spacers/supports!!




All Done!

And... I'm done painting the stand for the BRUTES and the filtration tanks for the left closet. Going to test fit it all tonight... Hopefully I measured correctly lol.



And also rescued this little guy from a fellow reefers tank that was leaking and threw him into my 39g Bowfront.

No idea why he would choose the powerhead only minutes after being put in... but to each their own!

So tried to move the stands into place tonight.......hmmmm



So after some mad Jenga, I squeezed them in there to check the fit.



Closet Door closes without issue. Lots of clearance actually.



And I have another issue..... Where the heck do I put the RO unit now?????? It did go on that crooked mounting panel behind the frag tank. I think I'm going to mount it higher above the frag tank.

I could still mount it behind the frag tank, as there is lots of room, but then replacing filters and viewing my TDS meters would be ridiculous.




And a scope of the closets together:
