Spent a lot of time on the sump over the past few weeks and wanted to share.

On the sump side, I replaced the stock sump with a Trigger Tideline 30 sump. With the extra space I now had, I added an AquaUV 57w in-line into my return pump (which is a Sicce ADV 9 pump). It's running quiet and providing great flow through the manifold, which has a bunch of 90 elbows too.

On the dry side of the stand, I built 2 custom shelves and added hinged doors on both sides. I also got a cool power strip that fits perfectly, which lets me plug into the back of the strip and control the outlets with switches in front. It makes turning off equipment for water changes, etc., so much easier.

Also picked up an ApexEL on Black Friday that will be going in shortly, the display will be on the bottom hinged door.

Anyways, wanted to share, very happy with how this turned out. Let me know if you have any questions (or suggestions!).

Nice setup. I use the same power center and it works great.
