I spent hours of research to finally build my first FW sump to filter our 120 Gallon pacu tank. Still needs some tweaking, but I figured I'd show off my pride and joy!

Wow that's a big fish!

I bought this tank used and it was an old SW reef set up with 5 holes drilled in the back! It's sort of a Frankenstein build. One pic of the filter sock and one pic of the trickle drain that goes out to my yard. One pic of the "Frankenstein" back of the tank.

This is my first filter sock set up. I have the largest filter sock available, I think it's 7" and this is a small tank with just a 2 foot Aba aba. I haven't changed the sock yet lol. I think the tank has only been up a month? I like the filter socks for sure! They seem to be easy to manage.
