Looks really good Matt

[mattt]

Internal measurements are 2 Metres L 75cm W 90cm High (to the overflow pipe) = 1350 Litres full

Very nice.
Are you going to have separate removable compartments to help with cleaning?

[SynoAngel]

Wow, really nice job!

[mattt]

i was going to make compartments... but i think i'll just chuck media in there... i dont think it will really make a difference.....

i have a bunch of jap filter matting which will be for bacteria, as for filtration i have some fine filter wool i grabbed at aquotix. The overflow will run through that then into the sump.

what happens when the power dies?

[mattt]

i'm also running air driven sponge, with a UPS as redundancy, but ive never had a power problem.

Having a crack at... hmm dont know but when its finished watch out at the auction lol.

At the moment i have EY / mainganos / venustus, acara, red devil, dimi comp, quite alot of tangs (cheers midland) demasoni, vc10, neo trets, severums, mixed bag of everything really.

adding barramundi soon for aquaponics, and i wouldnt mind getting more dimi comps they are awesome!

[dazzabozza]

Meh my shed's better

I wonder what wonderful things you'll find growing up in that sump in years to come. You might be able to go fishing with a rod and reel like Spencer Jack did around their breeding ponds lol.
