Yeah, post some pictures if you can. You might want a bigger pump. I've got lots of suggestions for you, however it'll have to wait until I can get to a proper keyboard. I'm on lunch and need to get back to the slavery, lol.

Well my day slaving away it almost done!

I'll post a pic of what I've got done so far later tonight.

I still haven't glued the baffles in the sump yet... as I want to figure out what pump to run

Default Update Nano Project

i'm one step closer to water

I got a piece of acrylic cut to prevent my fish from entering my overflow area.

I'm happy with it I silicon them last night.

Also installed the baffles on my sump.

Next plumbing, anybody know where i can get a slip 3/4 PVC to barbed fitting to run my media reactors?

What size tubing do most of those reactors run?

I think the majority of reactors run half inch ID. Everything is looking good so far!!
