My friend Austin (stunreefer) needed his sump cut down to fit under his new AGE rimless monster tank, so we busted out the router, and just kept going.
one done, and the other almost done.
The first two are of Austin's new modified sump, cut down, holes drilled, and other holes patched. All with weld-on 4.
The second set of pics of an old 180 i bought, that had the two small holes in the top.
We cut it down from 24 to 16 inches tall, routed off the edges of the top, flipped it over, and mounted on the tank. Then we cut out the small holes into a euro brace of sorts. We will be adding a middle support brace later this week. The front actually has the bigger lip, and we are going to mount egg crate into the small holes, so i have a place to put my plugs while fragging corals.
New overflow box installed with 2 - 2" drains, and we will be sanding it all down, and refinishing the surface later this week. Fresh water test to follow.
The dimensions are now 72 x 24 x 16
Heres what my entire garage is covered in.
And the scraps front cutting them both down.
