Jimbo662 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 This tank was originally planned as a lagoon type tank for LPS. When I moved last November I broke it down so the movers could move it for me. Time to get it back up and running for a special inhabitant! I had been using a Skimz sump. The only issue I was having was the height of the sump made it difficult to remove the skimmer cup. I had a 20g long sitting around and decided to check out the kit that turns the 20g into a sump. I'm very impressed with the quality of the pieces. Quick and easy to silicone them in the tank. Once I've got the sump done and the tank cleaned up a little better I'll move the rock and most of the water from the 66g that I'd been using for QT. Hopefully I'll be able to get the new inhabitant in the next week or two! Equipment: 45g SCA tank (36"x24"x14") 20g long sump SCA 302 skimmer Pair of MP10QDs Giesemann Aurora T5/LED UV Sterilizer Reef Octopus Varios 2 return pump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicordeaFreak Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm pretty sure I know what it is... Can't wait to see things progress. Glad to see this back up and running, I really like the dimensions of this tank. Where did you get the sump kit from? it looks really well done.
