It will look great when finished without a doubt, I might be inspired to set up a hap tank again.

hope this helps.The only thing I left out on the thread was to lightly sand them with 80grit to knock off any sharpness before introducing them in to the tank .And to boil them to get them to sink.

UPDATE UPDATE!!
Got home late last night so I did not get to post my lunch time score.
Got my sump systemfor 50$
This thing is huge The guy at the lfs said it was for a 400 gallon and if I had to guess I would say it's around 50 to 60 gallon made by sea life systems .Itr has 2 bio chambers and 2 bulkheads for 2 pumps .I will be cleaning it out this eve and taking some pics STAY TUNED!

Been out cleaning the sump it measures 36x18x24 and has 2 media chambers side by side thats 32 gallons but runnigg half full it will be like 15
did a little mod to the drip tray if some holes are good then moore is better.This should give me better saturation of the media and flow better ya think??
Also added more media at the bottom and will put 2 bags of agronite in the chamber where the sponge is for ph stabilization

In the top area of the sump their will be prefilter pad and in the overflow chambers their will be strainers and if anything starts making moise upon fire up mods will be made .
