26 scrubbies per gallon!? That cant be right , thats means you would need 3,250 just for your tank!

LOL thats retarded. I would love to do something like that , but i have to be able to fit my sump inside of my stand. And its only 24 inches wide .... blah.
So ill probly have around 300 scrubbies in my 55 gallon sump. I might have two 55 gallon sumps and connect them together inside the stand. Wonder how i could make that happen
Yeah, it was overkill, waaay overkill...
FYI
(Scrubbie) Surface area/cu.ft.:370
(Bio Ball) Surface area/cu.ft.:100-175

So really i only need 360 scrubbies? I like doubling my filtration on all my tanks. Though the fx5 and rena will really overkill it but , ill have to find a way to get 360 scrubbies in that hoe!
WoW so 43 scrubbies in my sump for the 180 isnt cutting it nearly enough ....

parents said no to the 535. They said nothing bigger than 2' wide. So i decided to take up the biggest wall possible. Its 1 inch thick acrylic too.
the stand and canopy are made out of acrylic also. They will me matted black , though i kind of want the stand to be see through. The sump will be a 55 gallon clear sump , it would be cool to see the filtration through the stand
local build?

probably but eh, i didn't do research on the actual surface area before hand honestly, tank has a massive bio load. figured better safe than sorry. the few extra bucks don't bother me and i don't have anything else to ut in that extra room...

Yea , local build for sure. Saved me like 6 grand. A special order 12ft 1 inch thick sheet of cycro acrylic man. LFS would sell it for a million i am sure.
I should have pics of it being built posted up tomorrow.
