Can you handle it?? :-D
I was going to actually fuel myself a nice custom made tank/sump but Drs bills halted that... Now I'm making my custom designed set up.... I mean I am a DIY Junkie....
Got the long part done... Drilling holes takes for ever!!

Thanks Andy! It was $20 more for black acrylic vs clear.. I think I made the right choice!

Josh... For real man!! I've been drilling holes for like 4 hours... They are all equidistant from one another and I had to make sure I had plenty of space for flow..
The big holes are 1/2"
The smaller holes are 1/4".
Total of 120 holes!

Sump is finally baffled up! From left to right:: Drain/filter sock holder, skimmer, fuge, bubble trap, return chamber! Still have to scrape a few blemishes and fill in a few gaps but the hard part is done!
