I bought the 13.5 two months ago. After adding a marine land HOB refugium and doing the research and needing. New project after finishing my lawn re-seed I decided to add a sump.

I worked with my dad and build a stand as well. Here is a quick run-down.

Some of this is redundant, as I posted an earlier thread(s) because I had a silicon issue and overflow design issues.

Both of which were diagnosed and fixed with the help of this forum.

Made a basket out of a sheet of plastic I bought for 6 dollars and 2 dollars worth of plastic clips

I added two actinic blue strip lights to the stock hood. It has really made a nice difference in the color thus far.

I am sure I will eventually upgrade, but I have a hard time just replacing lighting that seems to be working well.

All I needed to do was drill a few holes for zip ties. The strips fit nicely and stay dry.

Only 25 dollars total and can even add two more with that same power outlet.
