![]() looking good ,
one thought crossed my mind . Can you remove your sump with your tank pushed back in that hole ? If not, then maybe you will want to make that center brace removable. Weird things seem to happen to sumps , and being able to remove, repair or replace without draining your tank and sliding it out of that position would be great. disregard above if you can get your sump out lol, keep the updates coming

![]() Nice start. What do you have planned for equipment? That's the important stuff.
![]() In my more than 20 years of reef keeping I've yet to need to remove a sump, but I always design it so the sump can be removed. I'm pretty sure if I ever designed it so I couldn't remove the sump Murphy's Law would move in very quickly. ![]() |

![]() o Super Reef Octopus SSS-3000 skimmer added to the system
o 2 Tubes of pellets which have good nitrifing bacteria from Globaldesigns tank (for the life if me forget what this is called) These have been running in a rubbermain tub since the move. Skimmer is skimming like mad already in my system. next in order is tiding up the power cables (temperarily) Big plan is to move all power cables through the back wall to a new circuit , and a gang of outlets, no cables/power bars will be view of the main tank/sump Also need to hook up the ATO system, and RODI unit ![]() Jim
