Got the sump just about done, Hava to finish the top though, It will have two hatches with lids. Hope to test it for leaks tomorrow. sump has four large filter socks with a top plate all taped out with nylon screws, large area for live rock, probe bracket and a titanium 1/2' heating loop.

Great looking build so far. Busy season always sucks but it's what supports our hobby. Sad but true. Keep up the good work!

Yes so true about work. Im working 12 hour days just about 7 days a week. But It keeps me in this awesome hobby. I love it and look forward to getting this tank up and running. Wait till you see my new wet room, It looks like a clean room at Yale Hospital

Just stumbled across this build and love it so far. Kind of a noob question, but what exactly is a closed loop system and what are the benefits?
