Show off your mess

Everyone always shows off the best part of their tanks, but what about the dark side? The side of the hobby that everyone keeps hidden away..... buried beneath their tanks and behind the closed doors of their stands.....

Here's what it looks like under my 150. The sump/fuge is a standard 75 gal tank. My stand is open so I keep the glass pretty clean.

Here's what it looks like under my 29 gal biocube:

I was going to post a link to the famous "Ghetto Tank of the Month" thread but none of the images show up any more. That thread was so funny it used to bring tears to my eyes. There was actually some really nice looking tanks in that thread.

I guess it looks more "tight" than it really is. I have plenty of room to do stuff. The only problem area would be the Little Giant pump between the sump and wall that drives the PM Bullet skimmer.
