David's 36x24x18 Custom Rimless build!

I started working on my water mixing station today and picked up a water barrel that didn't have a removable lid, So I cut a hole in the barrel then cut the rim section off a 5 gallon bucket and pushed the bucket into the barrel and the rim of the bucket stops it from falling in, Now I just put a lid on the bucket!! Genius right? Got this idea from a buddy Haha
Pics are backwards lol

wow that is an awesome setup and the dimensions on that tank are perfect! I really love that the sump has a 7" sock, clean design! Is that a factory made stand?
