well, i am impressed! looks amazing. can you explain the canister filter...i mean why not just overflow into the bin and return pump back out? i have never used a canister filter so not sure how they work. how is the tank itself plumbed? did you drill and put in bulkheads?

The sump consists of a fluval 304 which holds the various media and is drilled in the base and plumbed into a recycling bin which holds some more rock, heater, return pump and float valve.


Also I just want to say thanks to Jay for his help on a couple things that made putting this together a lot easier and cheaper. Cheers!
