I hope everyone had a good holiday. I had a good time with family and friends, which also meant it limited the time I had to work on the tank. I did make some progress, however.
I painted the sump white on the outside back and bottom to make it look a little cleaner and so that it will be easier to see detritus building up in there. I got the glass cut for the sump baffles as well, so they were installed. Since the 20L is not very tall and to make me feel better about a power outage I made the return section as large as I could to still accommodate the skimmer and drains.
I also painted the back, bottom, and left side of the refugium. This is so I can spot any kind of waste a little more easily as well. The left side was painted so that there will be minimal light spill from the refugium light to the sump.
