Took a bit but here are the pics of the final outcome if all the chaos of sumping a solana.

So here's a top down shot of the back of the tank, you can see the 1st chamber with the stock skimmer, the second with the overflow intake, and the third chamber with the stock return pump and the sump return line

this is a little further down into the madness. you can see the two recently added reactors, one with pro bio and the other carbon. you may also notice the ass end of the sump sticking out the back of the stand. A cut to the back of the stand was in order to accommodate the sump.

and the inside and it is just as bad as it looks, however is functional! *L*

and a little closer

and the final FTS
