Hide That Sump. Let's See Some Pictures

[nfored]

Would like to get a gallery of how people hid their sumps.

I decided after finishing my first wet/dry it was a distraction from the display. So I moved the tank up stairs and ran the sump into the garage. Here is my before and after.

Before (Two photo's merged, Display & Stand with Sump, Back of display Plumbing)

After (3 pics merged, Display & Stand, Back of display plumbing, Sump)

55 gallon with a 55 gallon sump. Nice sump and nice work hiding it.

Thanks. A bit of overkill but its what I had laying around, except for the pump.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Yes it would but this way my other half doesn't kill me while I sleep, for having Niagara Falls in the living room; 750 gph is loud [/FONT]

sorry to go off topic a lil lol

ha
you stole my snap on front idea

actually i havent done mine yet but months ago i thought of using the cabinet door holder things

mine will be on a 240g tho
does it work good?

also
your diy overflow is the only one ive seen stubby like that
so why does everyone put them to the bottom?
would it still work if you just made the inlet and "u" just underwater?
or high as it could go
sorry for the questions,im building my first one and seeing your lil thing is way better then a bulky thing lol

Looks very nice Mike, finishing up my sump install but can't get my hands on any Krylon Fusion over here, not even online as far as I can find.

Snap on is awesome.
