Rich

What do you use as a sump? I think the tank I will be settin gup is the same size as yours. I have to keep it under the stand. I am thinking a 30 g would be fine, but will be tight for the ER ES-180 skimmer I want to get.

Waz, My sump is about 40 gallons. 30 would be a tight fit for all your gear IMO. Oh, I'll get pictures "soon," I promise Wink

I was trying to not have to get one built. A 40 breeded would have been perfect, but I do not think I can get it to fit. Unless I go with 2 large doors and no center leg, which I am leary of doing.

Painted and trimmed baby! A little touch up work is left to do, as well as light sealing the door completely.

The corals in it right now are for the BAR frag swap today - donated by IMT in Tonga!

I am at a loss in trying to figure out how to have sex with it. However, I believe that if it gives you a rise, you should jump on it.

Nice work Righty. Looks fantastic!

Is the paint the same or did you go a bit darker with the whole room?


I have almost that exactly same light in my bathroom, did we go over that already?


Last thing


Why do you need a door above it, if you can access it from the back?

Very Happy

The room behind it is about 18 inches - then there is a door to a small bathroom. I'll get some pics in the next couple of days. Right now I am busy aquascaping! The water change and top off stuff is with the sump under the house.

The paint is a bit darker. We didn't go over the light/bathroom thing - though I think the lights will get changed out when we find something we like.

The door in the front is for aquascaping and maintenance. Its about 2 feet high, so I can get my whole upper body in there. Its great, the aquascaping I did so far has been easy peasy!

Did you read where I wrote easy peasy in one of my posts today, or did we just both use the same weird phrase in the same day?


I am a freakin out....
