Well, there's not much to share yet but here's what I've accumulated so far.
I had a 40 breeder from my tortoises when they were smaller but I picked up a 20L for my sump with the $1/gal sale. I've ordered the Synergy overflow and picked up some plumbing supplies. Spent tonight cutting and chamfering the 1.5 inch pvc for the overflow. After the unions I'm taking it down to 1 inch. Also got some Plasti dip for the back and the frame to give it a screen top.
Should get the overflow tomorrow and will try my hand at drilling the tank this weekend. Picked up a skimmer from a member here that's en route as well.
No real firm plans on a stand yet. I'm pretty proficient at the basics of the stand building but making it look like furniture like some of the stands I've seen on here isn't something I've done before.
Since I don't have many build pictures yet here's the former residents of the tank that have moved up to a larger enclosure and will eventually get their own room in the basement.
