it was from a local guy who had just torn down one of his tanks. (I lucked out)

Chuck Norris sleeps with a pillow under his gun

this is why I drive a 4-cyl

I used a srpay paint and got bad coverage also, I am going to drill my tank tonightm and then go over it with another layer of paint!!

Originally Posted by claymc only thing I see, is that your return area is quite small, and you'll be fighting evaporation, if you don't have an ATO on your system. I have a 29gal, and have done something similar, and loose about an 1.5" / day.. with only a 6" chamber, my pump is blowing bubbles...

My local HD actually called it Egg Crate. it was in the lighting dept and the ceiling dept

here it is!!! (stupid eggcrate... it cost $10 and I used about 2% of it)

I already started building it close to the design of post #9, but with one more short baffle next to the return pump. If I don't like is, I can just build another (10 gallon tank and glass peices = cheap)

ahhh, good thinking!!

tada!!! in the right, out the left!

I suppose I could do that too, I will draw that up quick!

updated, remember, drains on both sides, return pump is the red box.

I wasn't sure how many baffles would be needed, but pulling two out just gives me more room for the already small fuge. the left side is the other drain with the baffles pusing the water through LR rubble. and obviously a return pump in the center.

this will be a 10 gallon sump in place under a 29 gallon display tank. I look forward to your input!
