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:

Nicely done! Waist height maintenance is pretty awesome. I like how it's all hidden behind closets, that's almost like a chapter out of chingchai's build. I can't wait till its all up and running. It's gonna be great!

I only wish this was even close to the scope of chingchai's build!!! Everything about it was top of the line. I think one of his shiney cabinet doors cost more than my whole system. LOL
