I built a sump from a 40 breeder and acrylic baffles I found on eBay. I got the Clarisea SK-5000 because I'm bad about changing filter socks.

Very close to transferring the fish from my 50 cube (which I will be posting for sale soon) - here is where I am right now.

The tank is filled with water and the rock structures are built. I will be moving my fish from the 50 cube this weekend.

I was thinking the same thing - I got the background from Universal Rocks in Texas.

The tank is up and running - still some automation things to set up but the diatom bloom is gone and it's ready for its first photoshoot. I am very happy with how the whole thing has turned out - hope you agree.

Seen it in person and looks great. How is the Nepthea doing?

So so - I put it up to high initially but have moved it down and hopefully it will recover.

Should do well at bottom with medium flow.

Very nice. One tip though... mount the Clarisea higher. It looks possible. Ideally completely out of the water on the highest mount setting if you can. The higher it is the more effective it will be and the rolls will last much longer.
