Newbies slow build the stand.

Never built a thing in my life and I decided on IM 40g EXT ( rimless). The IM stand are nice but they are pricey.Here is my stand I built somehow...lol and sump.

Just hauled my sump I had build bout 15 yrs go into the house from the shed which I had to dig out of snow. It's acrylic and going in basement plumbed to display.

The sump is about 4x the size of the eventual main tank...lol

Slow build but I'll keep updates periodically. So what's good in skimmers these days....it's been awhile.

I like the reef octopus skimmers.

Your sump is upside down. It won't hold water that way.
