This will be my first of a long series of posts. I am currently building out a new custom 140. Miracles sent me some pics of the build. Here it is at its current build state. Overflow and euro-bracing still needs to be added.

It has arrived!! You can see the starphire difference in the 3rd image. Now time to build a stand. Very cleanly built. Awesome work from Miracles

Almost there, not in its final place, but running a leak and flow test. A couple spots needed more teflon tape, but we're looking good. Here are some pics.

looks great! what is Your return pump and what kind of a overflow You got?
Iam planning on a similar setup in near future :)

The return is a Reeflo Super Dart. Over flow is herbie style with two 1" drains and a 3/4" return. Its almost a perfect mesh. I can open the drain about 95% and push it all back with the reeflo. A 1" drain fully open at around 30" head height sends about 1800gph. So I can move about 1700gph through the sump with this setup. That way more than a sump needs, but leaves plenty of flow strength for the 3 hookups I have to any media reactors I add.
