Default Finally - New photos of Tank + Sump!

So it only took me about 2 months to get my sump up and going, and just as freakin' long to get some new pictures, which I blame on the new 14k bulb not letting me take any pictures that don't make my tank look like... well, a blueberry.

Okay - so here goes, first the main tank:



Left side of sump, overflow going down into the skimmer. Please forgive the ugly baffles, they suck and I know - I used enough silicone to make Pam Anderson jealous

Also - that's my light BEFORE I went and knocked it into the tank. Amen for grounding probes.



Here's the "fuge" - I've added a bit more macro and a nice size piece of rock since this picture, also took away a powerhead.

To the far right you'll see the return area, I've got my heater, AC1000 with my UV Sterilizer, and my MJ1200 return to the display. If I was to do it over, I'd try and make my initial baffles after the skimmer smaller, as I burn about 2L of water a day - yowsers. However, that's less than before I had the sump.



and there she is! The skimmer is pulling out about 300ML of gunk every 2x a week, it's not SUPER thick, but it's decent and I'm happy after about 2 or 3 weeks.

So there it is!!! It's not amazing, but I love it I'm SO glad I had the grounding probe, I don't know what would have happened to the tank without it.... ugh.
