![]() Okay, so everything for the sump is read to go. At first I was going to go with a 55g. After getting it home and shoving into the stand I decided that I wasn't really happy with it. Even though I have tonnes of room under the stand I still found the 55g a tad tall for my liking. A quick google pointed me to the 45g. It is only 2 inches shorter than the 55g but those two inches made a difference. That's 2 more inches of easy skimmer cup cleaning!
![]() Time for a dry fit. ![]() From left to right we have the 'fuge, bubble trap, return section, bubble trap, the skimmer/overflow drain section. And here's all the equipment in their respective compartments. ![]() ![]() Okay, looks good. Time to commit with some silicone. *** DISCLAIMER: This will be the ugliest siliconing job you will ever see. Please don't judge me by the aesthetics of the result *** ![]() Okay, so it is ugly but it gets the job done! ![]() Overflow grill for the 'fuge. ![]() ![]() But... will it hold water??? ![]() Fuge holds water! ![]() So far so good. ![]() Last edited by kien; 07-20-2009 at 09:05 AM. |
