hey everybody! heres the new project. we were going to do a 45gal but our livestock guy hooked us up with this 100gal truvu acrylic corner tank. I still need to build the top hood, plumbing, and the rest of the stand.

the previous owner of the tank had a closed loop system, so i'll be using the plumbing holes for that as my returns from the sump, with the plumbing hidden with live rock, idk if thats still a closed loop or not but thats what i'm thinking lol.

kinda bummed i only have room for about a 30gal cube sump, does anybody have any recommendations for a cubed sump? ive been looking at eshopps sumps, but would love some input.

I'll add more photos as i go. thanks for loooking and any input and ideas yall might have for me. :cool:

Stand is looking great.... You may hate this suggestion, but could you make the stand slightly larger than the tank? Maybe then you'll have room for a sump, plus, I like having counter space next to my tank for equipment I may pull out or to sit testing vials, etc.

unfortunately we have a limited footprint to work with, we have a couch that usually goes where the lamp is. Plus were trying to keep everything as flush as possible to the tank. if we don't end up making a custom sump we'll probably go with the Eshopps R 100 or ADV 100.
