Mini Complete Tank With Display Sump

[Chowder's Reef]

So going with a skimmer. Good choice, an algae scrubber or filter socks would have just been silly.

Thanks, I think so too. I wanted to use a Rollermat filter, but I didn't have it in the budget

This is awesome. Since I'm not in the comp I may add eventually a dosing pump. One to add half gallon a day and the other to remove same amount. This way I can have 2 5 gallon jugs under the desk. Should be really stable. I am curious on the skimmer you made on draining. Thing looks assome.

Can't wait to see it all up and running! Comp winner right here!

I was considering joining this contest but decided I didn't have the time as I also just started up a 180. I was a little sad... but then I saw your absolutely amazing... and adorable sump and glad I am just watching on the sidelines. That is incredible.

Thank you!

I wasn't planning on it. I wanted to keep the display as close to stock as possible.

This looks like something you pulled out of a doll's house. Crazy awesome!! :-D

Setting up a 180 is no joke haha! I went against my better judgment with this one though. Work has really picked up for me so I'm trying to squeeze in time to finish this small build before the start date. I had a small lagoon pico tank (6"x6"x3") set up for a while


howbeit it's taken down now. It was pretty easy to care for so I'm hoping for the same with this tank, fingers crossed.

First OFFICIAL update on the build!

I got a hardscape together. End of update.

But really, I have miscalculated how intense my work would be right now; having a wide range of working hours and projects that have deadlines. To add to the fun, my 3D printer has decided to call it quits, so I'm a little dead in the water to making the necessary parts to complete this little tank. Quite frustrating, but I'm making progress, howbeit slowly.
Enjoy the pic! Hopefully the next one will be of it holding water lol.

Lol this thing is crazy. Can you put something next to it, to get size perspective?

That's some crazy good detail!

scape looks even better than my normal-sized one. following in case you get a chance to make more progress (but life comes first!!)
