Finally finished rubbermaid sump system
 

Due to the dimensions of the closet below my tank and the lack of funds to purchase a large tank to use as a sump I decided to use rubbermaids for my sump this time around. Together they hold approx. 90 gallons. They're plumbed together using 2" shower drains for bulkheads and a section of 2" pipe. Everything seems to be working great, knock on wood. LOL

Those look tight in there. How do you get in to do maintenance?

It is tight to say the least. It was a real pain in the arse getting everything to fit and still leave access for maintenance.

I built a removable panel for accessing the filter sock and most of the structure, bracing and shelving is removable without taking out any screws.

In all honesty I could probaby dismantle the entire thing within minutes, once the water was drained of course. LOL
