Well, since there was nothing and lots of spare time. I decide to make a cheap Sump. Not ones from under the tank. But one over the tank. So im making an overflow sump. Holds about 25 gallons. I have a water pump that sends water to the sump at 300 GPH. And i made 2 over flows where the water goes back into tank. I just finished gluing every part together. Nothing added yet. I'll try to get a picture before water and sand is added. I'm going to be using arag-live with some Chaetomorpha macro algae. I'll maybe even add some grapes but i heard they werent that good. And some rubble rock would do fine. Maybe also some base rock. I plan on putting pods, crabs, starfish and other stuff in there. i'll be using a 70 watt 6,5K buln for it. Any comments or advice will be great. :)

Heres the photo for it. You will see some tubing coming out of it. And there are some 90 degrees elbow PVC pipe in there. I'll update more tomorrow.

Sounds interesting so far. Looking forward to more pics. Did you find a DIY resource for your project on the web?
