NEW UPDATE: I decided not to go with the old sump. The reason is that the return is an external return and its located on the right back side of the sump. If anything went wrong with the pump or if I had a leaky bulk head servicing it would be a pain to get to. I also want to do a couple of aqua socks for this sump to cut down on detritus build up. So I went a head and got in touch with Sean at AquaBox to see if I can't get him to build me a custom sump.

Well Andy......... I am always hopeful that one of these times the words "Saltwater in my tank" will part of your post so until then I'll just wait....... :ranger: but not indefinitely so lets get this puppy back on track will ya :whip:

Why not build/fabricate your own sump ???

Cheers, Todd

Once the tank comes in maybe I could add a drop or two of saltwater..lol
I could build my own sump but I have way too many home projects going on at the moment.

You guys thought I was kidding when I mentioned Christmas lights..LOL! Anyway I bought me a box from Target. I purchased me a string of 70 lights and will have to get one more string. Plenty of light with these little pure white LED's!

250lbs meh that's it I can curl that. And you said this was a heavy tank. Can't wait to see it bud! When is the eta?

iReef86 · May 29, 2014

I could curl that?? Your arms must be huge Bobby? Lol. I could bench that easy. But are you sure Andy?? That doesn't seem like much for the tank you are getting?
