Nice and clean! Bro i wish i would have gotten a larger tank. Hows the algae scrubber working for you? I literally have to plumb through the wall into my garage and come back to use it. And stupidly i ordered it befor measuring if it sould fit down below.You win.
There is plenty of space for more stuff!So Im curious, how many of us are slamming 20lbs of crap in a 10lbs box. I just ordered a algea scrubber because my phosphate seems to always be a touch on the high side. Then the question comes ok where am I gonna put it lol.. anyone else have this problem? Lets see these crazy sumps! I wanna see someone crazier than mine cuz I'm about to move to a larger tank and stand just to have room!
Man looks awesome, and plenty of room!There is plenty of space for more stuff!
This stand hid all my stuff and saved my marriage!
Thats what I keep telling myself every time i open my doors
Saved my marriage! thats so true. Fairly certain my wife wants to kill me because of this tank. It was so loud at first and she was losing her mind. Nothing really made the overflow dead silent, I tried everything. So i ordered a 3d printer and came up with a design for a silencer. Printed it and put it in the drain and bam.. dead silence.. the only thing you can hear is the fans running. Just close the doors and there ya go problem solved lol. Now if i could figure out how to stop buying stuff
Do they sell anything like this online now? My tank is in my bedroom and it drives me mad. Temporary living situation means I can’t move the tank to another room atm
I made it. Most of the "fixes" are home made. But none were dead silent. Do you have a valve on the side that returns to your sump? Because what guys do is they make a dorso and use the valve to slow the flow to the sump. Takes a few tries to get it right but eventually it makes it dead silent. Mine I designed and printed myself and all i had to do was slightly raise the speed of my return pump. The trick was i made the water spin as it went down to cling to the walls.
See mine- You need a piece of strong glass like for a shelf . Place yours straight across(front to back) and rest scrubber on topSo Im curious, how many of us are slamming 20lbs of crap in a 10lbs box.

Nice! I was thinking 1/4 acrylic from front to back with a hole for the drain? So the plan is at this moment is to cut the hard plumbing return and make a manifold with ball valves in both directions to regulate flow. But dude, im sitting next to the tank reading what you wrote and i realized that i might be able to flip the skimmer around and make it hug the roller mat and get the 8 inches I need. Like you legit got my wheels turning and I think it might work.See mine- You need a piece of strong glass like for a shelf . Place yours straight across(front to back) and rest scrubber on top
Acrylic good too as you can at least do cut outs
Ya, so my thought is this. So my protein skimmer all the way to the right and cant go any further left. But then I was looking at it today and thought wait a minute, if i rotate this thing 180 degrees i can slide it all the way to the left. Because as it is now the scrubber wont fit its like 6 inches between the protein skimmer and the return line. But if I flip it, I think i can get the 8 inches i need and rest it on the acrylic like you said. And then cut the return and make a manifold to supply water. Gonna give it a go tomorrow
Put a hole a hole through the wall to the garage and put the scrubber outside!See mine- You need a piece of strong glass like for a shelf . Place yours straight across(front to back) and rest scrubber on top
That works !!
