[pilot108]

Well my tanks been up and running for almost 6 months now so I guess it’s time I start a build thread. I’ll start with some pics of the diy stand I built then I’ll put some equipment list and some more current pictures

Nice stand, how do you like trigger 34 ? Can explain dry section or show a pic of inside? Looking at pic dont you have all wires still inside?

I like the sump it’s built really well the only change I made was I got rid of the filter sock and use cheep bulk floss instead it’s easier to change. All the wires are on the inside of the stand next to the sump I attempted to make it look nice and neat but the apex has a ton of wires so its really just a big pile wires. I will take some pictures of the inside of the stand this evening when I get home.
