So my first ever salt water tank, my little DIY 5.5 AIO has been up and running for 3 years now. I am ready to step up to a little larger tank and am thinking either a 10G AIO or a 20L AIO. I have a spare 10 G laying around so I designed in SolidWorks a simple AIO Fuge' wall and machined it out on my CNC router. The main wall is 6mm black ABS thus not needing to have to mess around with a rattle can and painting it. I sized it for a MJ 1200 pump but if this proves to much flow then I can just swap out the impeller with one from a MJ 900 in a matter of minutes. I haven't had time yet but plan on making a drop in media rack to fit into the overflow side of the Fuge' wall for Chaeto and carbon/Chemi-pure.

As soon as I can pick up a 20L I will work up a similar end fuge' wall like this as well as a rear center wall using a pair of MJ 900 pumps.
