I finally got a sump made by one of our own (he will remain nameless unless he says OK). He also made me a reactor for GFO and carbon. I'm still not finished with it since I have to hook up the UV filter, get the media into the reactor, and add an ATO to it.

Let me know what you guys/gals think. It's a work in progress but I'm totally stoked so I thought I would share.

true dat meng. I hope those snails eat it up cuz they're huge. I smell a "scrape and brush algae off rock" get together. Let's get the club in on it and scrape algae and fling it to each other....doesn't sound like fun? hmmm
