Albert - C'mon man, lets see you do better for 20$. I can't wait to see what you come up with Yes, that's total cost of all the parts except for the pumps.

Temporary plumbing, it holds - sump however that's a totally different story... Damn mitch built fricken fracken &$%*@!!!!

It's simply genious,

I agree half the fun of this hobby is playing with it.

Nice job, Andy.


It's not your DIY skills that impress me, it's the ideas your brain comes up with.

Yeah, Can't say I'm going to ever win awards for beautiful hardware But I like to build and play with idears.
Had the sump apart, so I snagged a few more pics:



Not sure what happened, but after the sump reworking, she's not skimming. Maybe introduced too much oils etc in with my hands in there so much... Hopefully it gets back to normal soon - got some nasty plans to make this a communal sump for the frag, seahorse tank and add a refugium to get the macros out of both of those tanks.

It was a compliment; but since you're declaring a challenge: EN GAURDE!

Would you like to set the rules?

Actually Albert I believe the proper threat is " EN GUARDE! "
