Even us tall guys use them don't feel bad! I found a nice advantage to offset the fact that I lost an extra 7" of my livingroom to an external overflow was the ability to store my ladder behind my tank. My wife didn't exactly see the tradeoff as equal however.

Carmen that baby is going to look sweet! Your 72g is outstanding and I can't wait to see what you can do with this big guy.

Thanks Lance!

Brett that is a fantastic idea! Great storage space for the ladder!

Not too much to update yet but things are in the works...

Ordered my new custom sump from Kevin at RedCoral yesterday along with my brand new Vertex Insump 180! Whohooo! Didn't plan on ordering a new skimmer but things just worked out this way. Easier to plan the sump around the skimmer now. Kinda excited! Special thanks to Doug for helping me figure out the best way to work this set-up, plumbing and sump! Much Appreciated!

Sump will be 40" long by 12.5" wide by 18" High with a
10" Fuge incorporated! Yay since I never had a proper fuge in the 72G. Wish I could computer draw one of those schematics but that's beyond my technical abilities!

Your welcome Girly....hopefully we can get this thing running for you so you can get your tank back.....now that Ive seen the tank in person Im positive its gonna be "da bomb"....I think you made the right decision about the skimmer....no chance of flooding and opens up more room in the stand....

this is going to be sweet. ahh the custom sump makes everything so much easier. now hurry up and put some of that wet water in there so the fishies can swim around.

That is a very cool tank.....I'd love to do a 1/2 round like that. Any plans for the rock work?
