Looks good man! Are you going to put a sheet of wood under the sump? I believe that style tank has to be on top of a wood sheet and possibly foam since it doesn't sit on the brace trim like oceanic tanks. That tank is a beast, the skimmer is a beast, the sump is bigger than my tank, and those vortechs are beast!

The sump was just put in place to get an idea of where the skimmer needed to be so I could silicone my baffles in. But yeah, there are 2x4's going all around the edge of the sump so it's not 'suspended'.

Beast mode huh? :spin3:

 

[TampaReefer79]

What I've been up to:

Sump - first baffle going in

Baffles and both refugium walls done

Baffles, refugium area, 2' runway for water to get to return pump

'In wall' 40 breeder in the stand of the Beast

New toy - Profilux 4 chamber dosing unit

Actually, I don't think he is selling it. I believe he is moving the wife and kids into the 520g and he is purchasing a new 1000+g to be put in the bedroom.
