FINALLY I'm DONE

[Tig Phish]

Well it took a little bit over a month, but I'm done. My pentair fiberglass is drilled, plumb, and fully setup now. Pics are of the fish in the moonlite. Tank is 270 (6' x 3' x 2'), sump is 120. I just threw in a spit load of ceramic rings & pot scrubbies. 2x 2" overflow with the stealth strainers, with a laguna max flo 2900. A much needed upgrade. Def went over budget. Red highlited items r my original overflow PVC, but flow was way too weak that I just drilled. Speaking of which, why the F did I not drill tanks before or use a sump? Sumps are amazing, simple and gets the job done.

Sump is still a work in progress though, def wanna clean/change things around.

Those dats are huge.

Yeah 5 yrs old roughly, had them when they were 0.5-1". $40, buy 4 get 1 free special on the dats Christmas day. Lol cant believe at one point I had to put them in a basket to prevent a purple goby from eating them.

Nicely done.

thank you

looking good,

thank you


Overall very satisfied, had some leaking with the bulkheads, but some teflon tape and few more hand turns did the trick. The sock holder is basically just an egg crate held up by fishing lines.

Nice job. Glad you decided to drill

The blue on blue with blue lights is really sharp, what did you use to paint the pvc?

Been in the fish hobby for roughly 12 years, first time drilling and first time using a sump, what a waste. Should have done this years ago.

Once you go sump you always laugh at why people pay 300-400$ on small canisters lol
