DIY 90gal sump and stand
Hello all, I'd like some opinions on a DIY sump and stand I'm building for the 90 drilled tank I got to upgrade my 55.
I have an old tank to use for the sump (36x17x12) and want to use all the same equipment I have for the 55 (it's all oversized). Attached is my 2d plan. Thanks! |

I'm not seeing the photos.
Maybe since you are new, the pictures are "locked" or "jailed" so you don't hit us with pron.

I dont think you need that canister filter, especially when you have a sump. Also, you will need a bigger skimmer, as most HOB's arent going to be big enough for 120G of total water.
Just my 2C |

Eliminate the canister filter. Place the skimmer in the middle section and return in the last chamber. Go with an in sump skimmer vs the undersized HOB.
I have a build thread for a stand & canopy in the DIY section if you care to look at it.
