Curently building the sump, because I am waiting on the tank. I'll have pictures tomarrow hopefully when glass comes. Doing a 40 breeder sump. So kinds large for my aquarium but gives me plenty of room. I tried to find smoked glass then got price quotes and said clear is fine...

OK got my new baffles, going a cascading filter socks so I don't have to mess with plumbing. Did black acrylic, I like it. Going to clean up my gorilla welding silicon tomarrow after she is done. What do you guys think.

I believe he told me ½, all that's needed with eurobrace. I could do ¾ with rimless with my shallow height.

Ordered a cheaper overflow off ebay....it bit me in the but, looked like a beaver tried to chew it. Waiting on refund to order the synergy like I should have in first place, water testing sump today, been a weird 2 weeks. Placing order for the tank this week. Also finalising stand layout. That will be a lengthy post, ideals from you guys on stand??? Having trouble sourcing the hardwood plywood I want to use, exotic wood. Might have to scRap that and use red oak if I can't find it.

Also some WWII planes were in town, my dad took me to see these and kids and they don't come here often anymore so it was good I could take my kids. I am a history buff so it's good to pass this on. Got to pull down my old warbirds books and show them

Also I am restoring a few vintage shaving items they are turning out nice. I built this last week.l
