probably just the 300 for now, but eventually I'll add the 110 and maybe 125.
 
MY lfs has somthing just like that or at least they did now hte added a shark but it was cool when i was working
 
It's running with a 32oz arrogant bastard ale bottle on the drip plate for reference. ( the nasty on the bottom is washed out from old media)

I made the drip plate out of a solid light diffuser and I left open space for more pumps/heaters/ceramic media.

My drill is wore out because of the drip plate. I'll get a pic of it when I get some new poly fill to replace it lol.
It's about as high as the first ring. In this sump it fluctuates because of the drip system and float switch.
 
Awesome man! Looks like you're good to go!

float,ahh,thats what "that" is in the pics.lol
it runs the lil pump?
where do you pump that water?
just curious.lol
 
That will look awesome with a bench frame around it

IMO you should have installed the float valve higher up in the sump to allow for more water volume in the sump.
