This is the first time I've ever tried to build anything as far as carpentry, sumps, and reef tanks go. I think it's came a long way and I'm very proud of it but I know I still got quite a ways to go. (Picture of my potato for tax)
as background i have a 29g bio that has been running for close to 12 years. with 2 clowns, starfish/snails/crabs... also have a home build 30g tall tank with a diy sump i made 8-10 years ago. sump is way undersized(5g). but has ran with 2 clowns in it for 3 years now. had other fish before...
