60g hex with trickle wet dry sump(extra oxygen exchange because the tank is taller then it is high). Sump will hold enough volume not to flood and the pump will run dry before flooding if the overflow clogs or looses siphon. Dry rock, dual heaters, bare bottom, auto water change via Versa pumps(game changer for me and my old back). Blocks to raise rocks because the tank is tall and my arms are short, lol. Tank and sump have been in storage for about 15 years. Fish room with mixing station and currently building QT and observation tThis is a budget build while planning a 6’ peninsula tank next year(I hope). Tank 7 1/2 weeks up.
