I had a 55 I wasn't using so I decided to make a sump. I added a spray bar that sprays onto the prefilter then drips onto pot scrubes (media will be added after sealant cures). Now for the question, should I use the powerhead where it is for air exchange? I will be using the sump on a 180. I am not leaving it on the stand. I just used the stand while building it.:D Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks T

I got it up and running. :nilly: I think the Powerhead will work out good. I'll let it cycle for a few weeks and add some more media. :headbang2

damn boy, whole stand and everything. wish i had a tank like that laying around.

good work mate! real good work!
 
nice sump build man!
 
it would be fine for the powerhead as added oxygen but why is it at its location now and facing that way?
