I going to use it for the display and get a smaller sump. Then I found the 90. Since the 90 has a lid and is drilled in the bottom instead of the side I decided to use it for the main tank.

The 67 gallon won't be completely hidden since it has a display tank inside it

Oh so you plan to have a portal view into the stand/sump area?

Yes, I'll have a 20 gallon display tank in the sump. Here's a sump plan:

Any updates? Have you had a chance to get it set up yet. It's looking like it will be a really nice setup.

I'm spreading out this setup over the summer. I bought the return pump, SQWID and plumbing but haven't setup anything yet. The back and two ends of the 20 gallon have been installed in the sump and it has been leak tested. The big cost left on this are the rock and sand. I have designed the stand and just need some time to throw it together.

I spent last weekend working on the outdoor pond. We just bought a dog so I'm increasing the size of my lawn. I'm reducing the pond from 16 feet in diameter to about 6 X 10 feet, removing a stream, and adding a waterfall. I finished the waterfall, removed the old stream and installed the filter on the weekend. I have to move a retaining wall and get in a load or two of fill dirt so it will be a while before I get back to the 90 gallon.

Brent - I think you have enough to keep you busy this summer! Thanks for the update though. I'll just lay low for a while and wait till there's news.
