here is the latest. just finished cutting all the mechanical filter pads. Right after I Removed 25 fry from my yellow lab! Anyways I got all the bio filters together I will put all this together tomorrow. Tomorrow I will get the sump in place under the fish tank and start plumbing everything in!!! We'll see how far I get.....

my 2 cent thought.. why not utilize that space underneath the bio balls... get some laundry bags and pack it with matrix and you have the 2 world of bio..

I actually have 8 media socks 12" x 4" full or matrix rock Eheim substrate, carbon and those Fluval bio rings. They are all located in the baffle between the return pump and the bio balls.

My two cents worth, I have 150's and 120's all connected to 50-100 gallon sumps in the basement and even though heavily stocked with rays and loaches and pleco's, water quality has never been an issue.
I over feed often for growth, do frequent water changes with no problems with water variance during the changes.
Just a thought.

There are going to be 3 cabinet doors on the bottom to access the filter. Also a top hatch the width of the tank to access the top of the tank. We also made a door on the right of the tank witch gives me access to the tank on the right side through the laundry room. On the left had side there will be a bookcase that opens like a door giving me access to the left side of the tank where the heater is placed!
