I have a beater pickup I picked up for doing my renos, I could haul some lumber around for you some Saturday. I don't plug the thing in so it's not likely to start till it warms up a bit.

so ive run into a little bit of a snag, ive gone out and bought 2 tanks for the sump and refugium, but the problem is that they dont both fit underneath, i measured for 12" for both tanks for 24 " but they have black trim which i didnt account for so now it totals 25, which is 1/4" to big, so if anyone has any ideas on how to do something else with them let me know,

i was thinking i just put the fuge directly under the overflow(its external) and the other in the tank, and just run it back into the return pump and back in, the only problem with that is that the closed loop pump would have to go into the fuge area so it would create heat to the system. which might not be a downside, not sure how hot it will get in the system yet.

anymore ideas are grettly welcome.

in total i will probably have around 110G system, with the fuge and the sump.

80 for tank, 10 for sump and 20 for fuge, ( the fuge is a 25G, sump is a 20G)

You can file the trim down where the 2x4, sit tight against the tanks. Just don't trim One tank do both and that should work for you.

sounds like a good idea. i will give that a try maybe i can get it down enough.

on a happier note but also a sad one. i received my 2 pumps in the mail today, a QO4000 and a QO4000 HH

the sad part about it was that one of the pumps wasnt put on properly i dont know what the heck these people were thinking when they did this. so all the inside parts were broken.

so i opened it up and the whole inside was busted apart.

but on the happier note, my tank is supposed to be in on saturday and i will finally have it YEah.

One step forward, two steps back?
