No just front door with no back

Umm, you may want to change that metal hose clamp on your return pump to something else. They make plastic clips for that. That metal clamp will rust and you want to avoid rust or any metal in your tank.

I couldn't find plastic, I want it. But these are stainless steel, still no happy though

I wouldn't stick with those clamps still.

You think zip ties would work?

Temporarily maybe. But I wouldn't leave it as a permanent solution.

I used zip ties temporarily on my 40 Breeder which I just got filled with water a few weeks ago. Bulk Reef Supply sells those plastic clamps as well which is where I got mine. They hold surprisingly well. I think the ones on Amazon are the same thing though.

On a side note I see what looks like a Finnex HMO heater display in your sump. I had one of the too the 150 watt one and it wasn't enough to keep my water at 78 degrees the best it ever got was 75. If you have the same HMO-150 heater would you mind letting me know if it keeps it at 78 because I think mine might be broken.
