Wonderful. It's a great pump. I'm amazed at how quiet it is!

If I had to do something, I would just remove the union on each side of the pump. If it's anything like my little giant I won't have to touch it for a long time though.

Berber carpet under the filter! Now here's a man who trusts his work :D

Nice clean set-up, is the pump quiet enough?

:D I have a carpet cleaner LOL. That pump is almost silent. I can hear my little giant that's in an enclosed stand over the sequence.

I have a question about the 2nd photo....

Is this an area thats behind the aquariums?

Is this like a service area that you work the tanks and filter from, but when people view your tanks they do so from the other side and cant see the workings?

No, but that would be cool as hell. I'm eventually going to build a padded platform over the sump to hide it.
 
I've been thinking about adding a sand filter. If I take a large diameter tube and put it around the pipe that sticks down (between the 2 unions right after the pump) with sand it it, would there be a problem with just letting the sand fluidize and having the water spill over the top?
 
very nice filter make sure no beer spill i sure you know what beer can do to ppl i ahte to have a drunk fish...lol :)
 
I was thinking that the floor covering was the only thing wrong with your setup, but Dr. Joe pointed out that it just shows your confidence. I spill too much, when I built my house I didn't put any carpet in at all.

It looks awesome, I am very jealous of your fish room! :)
