Here's mine ... This is a wet dry I built for my 54 corner ... Couldn't really fit anything else under the stand . would have loved to go bigger but I couldn't ... Went w/ the wet/dry and now working on plumbing all of my tanks together and haveing just a big ol' sump and a fuge ... but as far as a 10 gallon wet dry this is about the easiest thing to put together ... a ten gal tank , sillicone , and $10 worth of eggcrate .....

Nanomanmaster,
Nope, it's fail safe. I've got a hole drilled right under the water line on the display of the return to break the suction and I've got enough space in the sump to take the water that flows back down from the lines. :D
Thanks for mentioning it, it's amazing how many people have sump accidents due to power failures. The next one I plan, I want to put in some sort of check valve to prevent back flow instead of drilling holes.

My sump is just a 10 gallon tank with my return pump and my asm G-1x skimmer. I can try to get more pics this weekend if you want a closer look.
