I got this tank used almost two years ago, It was my first tank with a sump, which made me nervous, yet excited all at the same time. After a lot of research and testing I decided to basically scrap everything but the glass and stand. Here is a quick refreshment of the past two years.
Started it up and shut it down, I hated the trickle filter and the color of the stand
Refinishing the stand while the new sump is being made
New sump is here
Drilled the tank for a closed loop, plumbed everything, while I made a Canopy
Filled it up
Too Hot and continuously blew the breaker when the Halides came on
Sold the VHOs and Halides, got LEDs
Couldn't stand the shadow effect from the center brace. I drained the tank and performed surgery
It worked out nice!
A year later
I can tell you this, It was a long ride and enjoyed it. I learned a lot in a short period of time, and you can't take a picture worth a crap with LEDs, especially with a iPhone.
Thanks for looking
