    Yes, a new wider sump with space for a fuge is what I want. BUUUT, with the house purchase/upgrades and this new tank/stand/light I need to wait on that... I just need to find the right sump =)

    Ya, it takes time and you have done a lot. your tank looks great. I have always been fond of cubes. I will probably do that if I get back in.

    And when you have time, things are cheaper. Keep looking at local reefing boards for stuff for sale. When you don't "need" it, you can get stuff really cheap. You have plenty of time to work on it.

    I drilled the hole in the standpipe and put in some hard line tubing and a bit of flex to feed back over the cube. still gurgling.... :angry:

    well, through tuning the returns and filter/sock-pad I have calmed down the micro bubbles and gurgling... this tank is temperamental. ::)
