just finished my 2nd diy hob fuge the other was for my 28g this one is for my 90. the last fuge i built was about 6.6 gallons, this one is a little bigger at 29 gallons. I made this out of scraps i had laying around the only thing i paid for was the pvc outputs

well all is hooked up and working great the compartments right to left are as follows:1st chamber modified seaclone skimmer, 2nd live rock fist sized or bigger about 20lbs sitting on top of 4" miracle mud, 3rd chamber chaeto with 18" 10k bulb over top which sits on the two braces abvout 1" over water surface. last compartment the narrow one at 2nd return live rock rubble stacked all the way to the top.

Constuction is of 1/4" plexi i lnow way to thin but there are quite a few braces and the fuge fits snuggly between the wall and the tank so there is no room for it to flex even if it wanted too, the only thing i dont like about this is that cords and such have to go all the way to the corner of the tank before they can go down and behind the tank. This really isnt a HOB because it sits on a shelf behind the tank. THe fuge is fed by a mini jet at 100+- gph then thru a uv steriliser in the the 1st chamber of fuge.

tell me what you think good or bad i know my skimmer sucks so dont tell me that. i actually like this skimmer better than the remora i used to use after i modded this one.
 
Looks good. Nice work with the acrylic. I'm getting ready to glue together my first acrylic project. Hope it turns out as nice as yours.
