I'm partial to my Foxface as well. Needs to be the center of attention when the camera is out especially.

Neat! I've been thinking about getting one of those 50g bins to use for frags, but I'll probably grab a 40g breeder.

Nice. I wish my garage was bigger! This is awesome. Ive got to start planning mine out, but I need to get the garage climate controlled first.

do you have a pump pushing water to the 50 then its draining back to the large one?

Chris my garage is not climate controlled and my tank do fine I have a 250 watt heater and a 300 watt and it works fine plus I have the chiller for the summer I run my tank at 78 on the winter and 80 on the summer also the ac and heater from my house keeps the tank in check

No my display drains into the 50 and then the 50 drains into the 100 and my return pump is hooked up to the 100 gallon tank

No need for climate control, just insulate your garage door (if its not already insulated) and cut out a piece of foam to place over the top of the sump. Works great!

(And many thanks to Lindsey for this information... haha!)

Oh yea I took the stock nozzle pipe off and took the check valve off and grind the bottom smooth the white pipe goes down to about an in from the bottom and I took the stock screen and replaced it with canvas screen this stops the reactor from clogging up the octopus reactor is great but the check valve and the way is design it get dirty and clog easy so now it flows way more

Awesome addition. At this rate your whole garage will become your "sump room" soon. LOL
