Yet another DIY wet/dry sump

I finally got all the plumbing done and got the pump going. Everything seems to be working very well. No leaks anywhere that I can see. The water dripping through the trays is a little noisy but I think I can solve that fairly easy. 
hmmmm I concider myself a self respecting DIYer ... and I don't have a bowling ball...Looks like I'll need to hit the yard sale circut so I can have a nice big Paperweight laying around

You can always glue http://bp0.blogger.com/_DnpprDAl8rk/RoE4uGmdJgI/AAAAAAAAAcU/LlU0qBTNZ3w/s1600-h/Collage.jpg to it like the craft mags say and put it in your garden birdbath.

I'll try to get some pics tonight when I get home from work. (night shift sucks!)
I was thinking about doing a w/d like this when i get my larger tank (whenever i find a good deal!?!?!) but now i'm torn between one like this or using a decent sized tank that i can section off and run different types of filtration and maybe some nitrate reducing filtration (reeds!)
On a side note, gluing pennies to the bowling ball is illegal and the nails look extremely dangerous!

Just a few pics of the sump and return plumbing. Still no leaks and everything is working fine..... I still need to tidy up the heater cords and the light cords.
