    I really can't wait to see what happens here!

    Yea I dont plan that to be the sump either. I plan on getting a 10 Gallon, but I still twinking around with it, Im removing that uv sterilizer it was just there but Im getting rid of it should help with head loss.
    55 Gallon. One year old, and looking SUPER.

    You can still enter throw a can and a movie in a 10 gal and you are in. Today is the last day to enter but that would get you in and give you a month to get it wet!!
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    A broken 10gallon?

    It's ok I'd rather hold off and try to do things right, this was a rush to try to get in but did not work out so well , next time I'll take my time and get it right.
