Sorry to see that. You have such wonderful out-look on life, are you a yoga practitioner?
And I see that the stand is looking wonderful. Cannot wait to see it!
I would love to see how you rig up your sump and the plumbing, so I can show Tim how it's done. We are trying to figure all that ourselves.
Chin-up. But of course you don't need that. Cheers.

well really its not that big a deal i mean it took us under an hour to get the broken glass out and since i am having my sump made by the same guy were going to get two more made up.and he was nice enough to offer to come up once the sump is done and get the new panels in so im happy and i dont see it as a set back at all


as for the plumbing well thats gonna be a doozie , im gonna have quite the sump made up using just about all my space so its a big sump from the front view in the window there will the section with the low flow refuge and frag tank it will be split in to two it will take up roughly half my sump im also having it made so theres two main drains both ending in filtersock holders.there will be a large section also for my skimmer and enough room to accomodate either two decent pumps or one very large pump in case i change my mind about that.there is also a section just for media reactors etc. sump should be finished within a month im hoping anyways
