Wow it's weird seeing stuff you built being sold by someone else. The sump was a little unorthodoxed but was built so the front would be a display fuge. Here is what it looked like when I had it running on my tank.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Free Bump!

The stand was built by a family member. The cabinet was built a year later by another family member and then I built the sump a year after that. If I had known what I was doing when I started I would have made the cabinet a little shorter so the sump would have been easier to access. But in the end I was very happy with how it looked. I only got rid of it because I had 2 kids under 2 and it wasn't child proof and I had no time or energy to make it child safe...

Enjoy your new build!
