What do aesthetics have to do with a sump? It's ALL about functionality.

You want that garbage on the floor right in your face, at least hide it in a stand. And it is about functionality, i never disagreed about that but he couldn't have organized it a bit more, organization has to do with both aesthetics and functionality
 
Then don't respond and keep to your self, and don't annoy me with you petty "functionality" comments. When you learn you can then talk to me, got that
 
To complete the ghetto effect and add a drip plate use my method. Get a plastic colander from the store, place it on top of the bucket, put your mechanical filtration material on it and call it a day. If it needs to be pretty, get some krylon paint in your favorite color and have fun.

Step of your high horse pal.

If BigDaddy wants to hide his sump, it's easily enough done. It's obvious hes looking for advice on improving the sump, and not wanting to hear that it's ugly and he should hide it.

First of all I said I'm sure it works fine,as he has all the elements: the live rock' the scrubbies, but it could work better if he organized it, and yes you could have a little section on the side to keep cleaner fish, that would be a refugium. Second of all I AM OFFERING ADVICE idiot, by saying its not aesthetically pleasing and he should relocate it or "pretty it up" . And I beleive he asked what people thought of his sump not what he didnt want to hear. So shut up and learn to open your mouth and when to keep it shut.

You are very mean spirited.

Actually I can be at times, I apologize. In fact this sump is not garbage at all, it has the makings of a great sump and i wish the best of luck on your sump making endeavor. You have some great advice here, theres no reason you shouldn't work with it. Just as stated
-add a fine filter media to collect debris
- Add a drip plate
-organize it
and you are fine
 
1. The little man with the turtle avatar is very angry
2. Was it ever said that this sump wasn't in a stand or soon to be?
3. Who cares what it looks like (as previously stated) if it's doing its job. I'd rather have a kick *** ugly sump that hella filters than a pretty one that is only that.

just my $0.02

Oh my God, you cannot be serious,
of course you're not,
anyone that says "hella" can be serious
Maybe you can't read,
I don't know and really don't care.
