Overflows done & drying. Some idiot forgot to tape the front right one. :lol:
Oh well, won't be seen once covered. As the stones sand, "paint it black", as on my back glass. :smile:

The 6 in. where overflows are will be hidden. And piping will go through visible hole to my office/fishroom.

Did you know the tape is to be pulled while silicone is still wet. :lol: I never. DOH!!!!!!
Should have watched the u tube video first. Guess a partial redo tomm. I picked up an older 40g cube style tank for a sump. 3/8th glass. All braced. Going to redo all the seams. Guess I will know how this time. :lol:

I've made this newbie mistake as well :lol:

Thanks. As the saying goes, misery loves company. :mrgreen: Somehow I don't feel so bad now. :lol:

I cut it completely out this morning.

Completely removed front overflow yesterday. Never liked the layout. Spent couple hours removing silicone. Drilled another hole & put new overflow beside the other. Looks better & once acrylic cover is added, even better. Right now they are even in height. May have to put a horizontal divider between the two to keep Duraso,s working correct.

My good friend went to Concepts after me and grabbed this sump out back. Brought it back and cleaned it all up and then gave it to me for my new tank. A bit large at 88g for a 90g tank. :lol: But who could resist such a nice looking sump and a very nice gesture. Besides just run it about 9in.deep and it has a 10g fresh water storage, plus converting old sock area to a quarantine and half the huge return pump side for a refugium.

Fresh water and sock compartment. Will raise the left side and a nice quarantine..

Right side will be skimmer place and overflow lines in. No socks.

Left side will be split into return pump & a refugium.

I just sit here looking at it, as its so nice. :D. Sure glad for good friends. Thanks Mike. When I do the new tank, its going bare with a starboard type bottom. So my many sand critters, yellow coris, leopard wrasse, and whatever else will go to Mikes 90g & 35g Red Sea.

Sorry those pics are so large. Photo bucked editor on the fritz.

Great score Doug!

Thanks Greg. Sure is. Inspired by yours. :mrgreen:
