Was cleaning my skimmer today and decided to see how it fit in the new build, seems like it was made to fitI left just enough room above the skimmer to get the cup off without sliding out the sump, but with how smooth everything travels I will probably slide it out anyways lol. I have been continuing to work on plumbing here and there, I want to be able to easily access and remove any part of the plumbing if needed, and that has added a bit of complexity to it. On top of the stand is my new overflow box, and because that is quite wide, I will have a pretty big gap between the back of the tank and the wall, plenty to fit my hand around to remove plumbing.
My hope is to keep the same footprint as my current tank, (24"X24") but gain a few useful features and unnecessary complexity
Yep, R&D at it's very core. ;FacepalmFrom a broad design perspective this had to be made this way. To be honest the issues I have run into throughout the build were never a part of my consideration, and many of the issues I thought I would have, I just didn't. Without having built it, I never would have known, so the next one is likely to be multitudes more simple.
Not as elborate however I did the slide out sump on my cube originally... This time around I put a sump in the basement..."If this thing hits my target of 2 weeks without any intervention of mine, then I will consider it worth the time and effort. (Feeding is independent of maintenance)"
Terrible video, sorry!
