You don't tinkle excellence. That's a two hand firehose of excellence, or Nothing.

Imagine you try to text the wife something like “yea your right babe” but autocorrect feeling hoody so it comes out “yea right you biSh”
You ever see that episode of Keene and Peele show where they pretend to call their wife the B word? Hahah had me in stitches

Some real basic sketches of the layout and sizes. Doing a double channeled base for the sump so there will be 2 points of seal besides the interior seal. And a real basic layout for now until i start piecing it together with the equipment i plan on having. Also got in touch with a guy that does etch glass for the front facing. Really excited for this and will start the process come tues. Tomorrow is a day with family. Hope everyone has a good 4th of July. Ato sketchs to come soon but it is the exact height and width of the sump so it will be placed right next to it

Well did a dry set to check measurements and see how everything looked. All i can say is wow this thing is going to be insane and everything i needed it to be. I am very proud at this point as it has been a goal of mine for this sump. To see it take shape even if its just the exterior walls is just an amazing feeling. I dont think i would want it any other way. This has brought a light at the end of the tunnel feeling and i feel as if the sky is the limit now. Let me know what yall think.....it will only be filled to a height of 17 out of the 22 in height. This will allow a much needed safety in case back drain happens. Super happy right now cant wait to silicone it up and start the cure process.

Yo I am Way more into that tinted glass surround and baffles than I thought I would be ..
Bro it has turned out amazing cant wait to seal this baby up bro gonna be insane. I am glad you chimed in man honestly feel as if once everything is in place its going to look awesome. The tinted glass is awesome. Will really help make the viewing glass pop as the light will be brighter through the face then the sides. Am honestly thinking about crafting a shorter low boy of this sump for a future frag tank build. I am probably going to start a sump build thread and document the journey for this sump both on that individually and here for the whole setup. It really cmae together nicely

Yes. You must now carry this theme through. Think about how Sick that would be. Matching Numbers sump, frag, tank , Nem Tank, QT. So rediculously boss.
Exactly my thought process bro. Everyone of them with the tint theme and clear viewer is what im thinking bro. I am glad you like it man. Took the measurements 10 times before locking it in bro just super happy with the outcome thanks for your thoughts it does go a long way.

That tinted glass is the first thing that popped out at me as well, going to be a great sump. Goodluck with the siliconing are you using black or clear?

Going to be going with black due to the tinted grey baffles and side assemblies.

Guess you will need all those tubes of silicone! looking' really sharp.
Thanks brotha i appreciate it the channel slot was perfect measurement everything is flush and the base being the way it is really will help with the bottom seal.

Was hoping you would say that, the black makes mistakes obvious but as long as you use tape it will look soo much better then clear.
Yea i am going to have a red grey black theme for the sump. So the black is gonna look awesome as well as have a guy willing to do some etch work maybe on the front glass. Still havent decided yet
