not much of a DIY, but i spent the morning doing it, so i figured id post it anyway.
i needed to raise my tank so i could add another layer of media to my wet/dry, so today i built a 2x6 extension for my cement tank.

i picked up this chop saw at a garage sale a couple of years ago for $10. best $10 ive ever spent.

i almost forgot how awesome these quick grip clamps are. makes my life so much easier.

also moved the UV filter, and incorporated it into the system, so its no longer running of a second pump in the sump.

and finally got it up on the cement blocks, and ran the pipes through the extension.
