Very cool.. Wish I'd the space to build a sump.. I'd my tank on the floor for my convenience..
May I ask the reason you keep the middle part empty(where there's air bubbles coming out)? Why not stuff more scrubbies in there?

My sump is next to my tank and not under it. I did this because I hate to have to lay down or squat to do maintenance.

Thanks m8 The middle part is empty for the jaguar cichlid babys my pair keep on having I have gravel in there now also, it just acts like a seperate tank

Yup, gonna get a few more prices on materials then go for it m8

Its not that bad really, to squat to do maintenance is all part of fish keeping i would say

It works really well too m8, the tank water is crystal clear and the temp is at a constant 27c, thats with the heaters in the sump

Lack of space is the only reason I don't have a sump.. lol

I never had the space untill i got the 8x2x2 then i made the space oh and moved to a bigger house which played a big part in it

The good thing about the 2 in 1 sump/tank is, if the pump ever fails for some reason i.e power cut (which never hardly happens) Pump failure which is prob more likely, The section where the fishys are will still be getting filtered as ive just put an external on that bit

I would love a sump for every setup i got, or even a monster sump to run all hmmmm an idea me thinks
