So yesterday I decided to occupy my time with starting my stand, and sump build. With a little from a friend my 30g sump was born

Up next I'm gonna skin it and figure out my door situation ,I'm in the air between doors or sliding panels !very unsure at this point , and I'm glad I have a few days to think this next part out !!

Got some locline 3/4 in tubing for my return , some sand for when I yank out the crushed coral , and I ordered the sump and reactor the other day as well , just waiting on that and considering a Dj strip for all the outlets , as for the stand I'm hopefully gonna get the wood this weekend and skin it , so basically just a little more preparation
