I didn't notice, but did you apply the epoxy on the back side of the glass after you silicone'd the glass in place?

No, Just silicone.

looks nice. how is the over head sump working for you?

Overhead sump is working great other than the little overflow mishap last week. Must remember to check media

Going to add 2 bulkheads inside to act as emergency overflow just in case. Also changing the media from floss/Micron filter pad to filter socks made of felt. They worked so great getting the sand cleared up just going to use them all the time.

Gonna post a couple end of year pics. 6 months and counting. Planning my 2012 project of around 500-700 gallons. So I can turn the "little" 240 into a shoaling tank.
