the pump for the sump and the skimmer are in the hands of UPS....as soon as they show up I will install that......I'm doing a 40gal "sump" but 100% will be fuge (running the 250watt Iwaski from the old 20gal over it)...

I could have waited to do it all at one, but I wanted to get the closed loop system up and running (helps to actually SEE something rather that just parts all over the house ).....

as of tonight the tank is full to just below the overflow box slots, sitting at 1.026sg, and the 5 hermit crabs think they have died and gone to heaven....
