    i decided to downgrade my 55 glass to a 20 long MT with a 20 long sump, mostly because it will be easier to move since i move lots. i built the stand and the sump. Wanted to show everyone my creation. I'm very proud of it, my first actual DIY project that i really like. PICS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!

    so here it is. i'm still waiting on my 20 Long MT, and my return pump, which will be arriving saturday, but i have everything else. i will be posting more pics when it is done. it's basically a fish tank entertainment center. i love it! i love my new lights too. i opted for a 130W 30" Current power compact. Sump is ready to go. Just want my MT. Enjoy

    it is the collection cup of my protein skimmer. in order to put the sump under my MT i had to drill a hole for my protein skimmer to come out of.

    You might have to open the strainer up quite a bit. That looks a bit restrictive. Looks good though.
