Thanks Monzer!
THE SUMP IS HERE!!! And it's HUGE!
Picked up the Sump from Neptune today. Built by Gen at Kritter Tanks and it's a work of art! I couldn't be more pleased. I can't wait to see water flowing through this baby. A few mods left to do, but for the most part, it's good to go.
I am gonna leak test it overnight (although the seams are beautiful, I am not too worried about leaks) and get it in the stand tomorrow. It's a little taller than anticipated (long story, I couldn't make up my mind on size, so the stand and sump are a bit taller........which I am VERY happy about!) so it's not gonna fit through the side door. Chris (the rockstar that built the stand) showed me how to remove the center bracing on the back of the stand as he wasn't able to make the door on the side as wide as we needed for strength. The sump was going to be 22" tall, but it's 24".........which is perfect, because the stand was going to be 38", but is 40".......so still plenty of head room and working space.
This sump has a MASSIVE fuge. I am so excited about this. It is exactly what I wanted, and I can't wait to fill it. Hopefully this will lead to a VERY healthy and stable tank with a boatload of live food for the fishies. :bigsmile:
I had to use the wide angle lense to get the entire sump in the photo. LOL!
MASSIVE FUGE! 32" x 24" x 24" (the water line will prolly be about 19" in reality).......approx 64 gallons @ 19" deep.
The sump itself is approx 150 gallons.............approx 120 @ 19" deep.
Pretty happy to have the sump first.......hopefully will get the layout finalized before the tank gets here and get some of the plumbing through the wall started before the tank is on the stand and I can't move it anymore.
