I'm going to be building my first sump very soon and would like some advice, tips, hints, suggestions, and whatever other encouraging info you may have to offer.

Tank is a marineland 125 dual corner drilled. The return pump will be a via aqua 8000 with ~2400 gph at 0' head pressure. I will be buying a skimmer soon, probably an octo so need room for that. The custom stand measures 30" tall inside and 36" tall outside height with an 18 1/2" x 72 3/4" footprint.

I would prefer to build the sump from glass or using a glass tank, but if you have simple instructions for an acrylic one feel free to share

If you need more info from me just ask.
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
