Face lift under my tank...changing it all

litenyaup · Apr 25, 2017

Local acrylic shop is going out of business and I picked up a bunch of acrylic cheap! Got some cool colors. Am going to do same color pvc a well. I'm going to be selling all my filtration.... Sump, ATO, reactors, kalkwasser stirrer. Will be building everything!!! All matching colors and style. Here are the colored sheets of acrylic I got and what my initial build looks like. Any ides or color schemes are welcome!

Messing around today I built this all in one either frag or qt tank.

The yellow I need to drill frag plug holes still.

So here is the mock up of the reactors I'm going to make. The actual ones that will be in use are going to be color matched acrylic with the rest of filtration. Here it is next to the kale reactor and mr1 monster I had on my system prior to the face lift. Also think I will be cutting them down a few inches.....don't think they need to be that tall.

Ok so here is what I want to build for my sump. Let me know if there are any issue you see or anything that would need to be changed.

Looks almost identical to my Trigger 39 Sapphire, except it's a few inches longer.

Really cool!

I took some ideas from multiple sumps and what I used previously. I wanted a place to put frags so I added a section in my sump. Will have a light above it under he tank.

Here is all the acrylic I got from the local shop that was going out of business.

thinking of building my sump too but I am no where as good with acrylic as you are. Tagging along!

My original build for this system is on here from start to finish with a ton of pics "custom 189 build". I'm also thinking of building a tank/ sump to replace the 14 bio cube.

So I'm also doing a diy repaid led upgrade on my 14 biocube. If it goes as planned I'm going to build a new light for my 190.

I got a killer deal on a HUGE heatsink! 70"x10"x2". This thing is a beast!!!

Here is the mock up of the 2 part containers. Cal, alk, mag. Looks good and now I have to pull dimensions and have it made in the blue/ white color of the rest of my stuff.
