I'll post mine when I get home. In the meantime, what does the tape square signify on these sumps?

It indicates the high/low range for the water level. Makes it easier when I have "outsiders" top off my tanks.
 
i see some of you decided to keep your sump substrate free... i was thinking about just adding live rock underneath and thats bout it..

I pulled the sand out of the sump for my 58 when I redid the tank about a year and a half ago. When/If I get around to fully cleaning the sump for my 75, I will pull it too. It is just a matter of me actually fully cleaning it. :)
 
Only a 36" wide tank so I had to get real creative with my sump, it also has a frag tank plumbed into it. This is it in the stand. Skimmer on the left, fuge on the right through the T and ball valve from main display and the center section is the return with 2 Eheim 1262's one for each tank. The Fuge is actually a smaller tank inside the sump so that I had more return volume underneath is.

This is the sump still wrapped in plastic out of the stand.
