Perfect example of wasted money!?!

Just ran across this on YouTube. Overkill per spec on plumbing. Inefficient use of multiple types of media. Super overkill on heating. Only thing I saw that was good was the bags of media in the pump section. Of course this is all IMO. Let me know what your thoughts are. Am I missing something???

I don't know, seems legit....but I wouldn't put the media right next to the return...and I would invest in a single or maybe two bigger heaters. I think using an acrylic tank for a sump is way acceptable.
Trust me, compared to what some of these crazy fish keepers do under the stand, this is a mild setup!
(When I say crazy I mean dedicated.)

Are you following me? Lol. I like the sump. Matter of fact I love it. It's how the person executed the whole sump. I'm not a super expert by any means. But the choices executed on it are pricey and not reaching full potential.

Do tell and I was ready to see the tank itself after viewing all of that filtration.

You need to check out Al's tank. One of the most down to earth setup. He's a long time member not a fly by night keeper. Some don't mind quality over function. Those valves are definitely not cheap.

looks fine to me, not sure i would have the heaters laying like they are ,.

No problem! What am I missing here? That's a perfectly good wet/dry missing all the drip plates and baffles. I'm trying to gain insight. Not just bash someone.
