I live in montana, the same guy/company built all items (stand,sump,tank) he also cut the starboard between the tank and stand. there is also a piece of starboard saving my floor from water if the sump ever overflowed, (once so far,thanks to me not shutting the water off..lol)
the algea cycle is killing the looks of the tank so a serious cleaning will comense tonight...

i'll get a layout of the sump for those interested I have to go back through my drawings and see what I have left but its a very unique sump that I have yet to see designs anywhere similar...lol as I have many designs in my library and thought an original would be great...

no need it has a bubble plate and the ******** is designed for bubble contact time with the positioning of the pumps gives it swirling contact then the plate separates clean from protien then to the top I cannot see how or why for that matter you could or would put a recirc on it .

Hey Coach.....looks fantastic......Any issues with the sand blowing around and the removal of coralline algae from the acrylic tank? Did Envision do the tank for you?

for the water flow test I had sand blowing... the spots that became bare of sand I filled with a higher grain size and its been set since. the tank was hand built by Clear Fabrications(one man company) in Seattle.
coraline is a weekend endevor-every weekend removal by hand as I dont have an tigershark magnt yet.
p.s. I have no livestock except
bar goby
clown
cherub angel.
6 peppermints
1 cleaner shrimp
20 snails
20 hermits
