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.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
