It’s just a 5 ft advanced acrylics sump ! It’s a pvc acrylic hybrid ! It’s half inch thick ! I’ve had some nice sumps and a friend of mine has a dream box and this one is just as nice ! For about half the price and a quarter of the weight time !!!!!

Build is looking great! Really like the clean and organized set up.

I basically have the exact same size tank as you and was starting my build exactly one year ago. You’re going to love it.

Seems like you have plenty of room. Did you consider placing the sump somewhere other than under the stand for ease of access and maintenance? I placed mine on dunnage racks to the side of the tank in my fish room and it makes for super easy access. No more reaching under tight spaces :)

Thanks a lot ! Yeh yeh I can only fit the sump under the tank ! The tank is in the living room wall and the I built a wall flush with the other side of the tank ! But yeh if I had more room I def wouldn’t have put the sump under the tank ! The whole bottom of one side of the wall is gunna be one piece that I can pull off tho so it won’t be to bad !
