Let's see this fancy sump already.

Can you handle it?? :-D

I was going to actually fuel myself a nice custom made tank/sump but Drs bills halted that... Now I'm making my custom designed set up.... I mean I am a DIY Junkie....

Got the long part done... Drilling holes takes for ever!!

Looking gooood!!!

Haha, How long did those holes take!

Thanks Andy! It was $20 more for black acrylic vs clear.. I think I made the right choice!

 

[iReef86]

Haha, How long did those holes take!

Josh... For real man!! I've been drilling holes for like 4 hours... They are all equidistant from one another and I had to make sure I had plenty of space for flow..

The big holes are 1/2"
The smaller holes are 1/4".

Total of 120 holes!

Thanks! Me too! It took about 4 hours to drill 122 holes if you count the double filter sock holder!

 

[falconerr]

Can't wait to see this filled!

Great build so far!

 

[iReef86]

I know, right?? I'm drooling and anxious with sweaty palms and restlessness! Can't wait!

 

[iReef86]

Great build so far!

Thank you, Rev! Always nice to see you check in!

 

[iReef86]

Sump is finally baffled up! From left to right:: Drain/filter sock holder, skimmer, fuge, bubble trap, return chamber! Still have to scrape a few blemishes and fill in a few gaps but the hard part is done!

 

[falconerr]

Very very nice! Loving the sock holder.
