Wow!!! What an awesome evolution! Where did you find those blue handle ball valves?
I'm in the middle of building my custom setup and I'm having trouble finding the plumbing parts I want.

Thanks! The ball valves came from here... https://www.pvcfittingsonline.com/valves/pvc-ball-valves/true-union-ball-valve.html

I either bought the plumbing stuff there or at https://blackhawksupply.com. That was my 2 go to places for most of it. Then a few odds and ends at amazon.

There are some really amazing sumps on here. I will share mine too.
Used 75 gallon custom acrylic aquarium repurposed into a DIY sump, GrowStar fuge light, thank you @Crabs Mcjones for the recommendation, Reef Octopus 200 INT skimmer on DIY acrylic stand, BRS reactor, JBJ ATO with lovely Salinity bucket resevoir, 45 gallon RO resevoir, pan world pump hidden behind Salinity bucket.
Hope you enjoy seeing my Frankenstein sump as much as I enjoyed seeing all yours. lol.

Just to shamelessly brag about the chaeto growth. Nothing else is really growing yet! lol

This pic is of leak / flow test so not much going on yet. But I will be running this Trigger Systems sump with RO 150 Skimmer and Refugium. Currently returning to the 65gal DT with a quiet one pump but plan on using a Varios pump in the future.
