Congrats Christian!! We have one on the way too
I think the red will look sweet. Though it may be more practical to use flex PVC for plumbing with the way things are looking.

Idk....with the key lime cabinet, with the lagoon blue inside I'm not sure red pvc would match the best. I'm thinking maybe the lite grey with either white sch40 or dark grey sch80 fittings LOL. It just seems to me that the colors you've chosen are so lite and relaxing, Red might pop too much. Haha just a suggestion

I was thinking the same. What you want and what would look good can sometimes be two different things. I was looking at grey today. Red would be wild but grey or white would go with the idea.

Sump is here!! Shaun and Richard from AquaBox did a heck of a job designing and building this awesome sump for my system! Way to go guys!!
3 drains for the Ghost Overflow followed by 3 filter sock inserts. Water flows under the first wall where it will make contact with the submersible heaters attached by 2 sets of hooks. Water flows into the skimmer area then flows over an adjustable wall that regulates the water depth for the skimmer. Water flows over the adjustable wall into a "acclimation" chamber where I can float bags or even add bagged media if needed. Water then flows over two bubble walls and into the return area. Sump measures 40"x18"x16" Sump is also equipped with cord holders and dosing tube holders.
