When the sun is shining and there's a free sump 2hrs away. Included 2 HOB overflows, full load of bio balls and the flexi drain hose.

I modified the CPR Reef sump I have on the 120g. One section had a built in skimmer so I dremmelled out the base and baffling, capped the holes between that section and the bio section I had drilled, drilled a 1/2in drain and made a light support bracket. I also made lids and a baffle to hold the sponge in place between the bio section and the pump section.PXL_20210614_205820811.jpgPXL_20210614_205748200.jpg

I love that fish room, so nice to have it bright and airy like that with all those windows. My current one and all my previous ones have been dark, dingy basement rooms, few or no windows. Yours is much more cheerful. I hope you have brought in a nice easy chair to relax and watch the fish from. Two more words to make it the perfect fish room: bar fridge. :)

You also have some terrific DIY projects on the go, and a bunch of nice healthy well-kept fish. The icing on the cake: fetching an aquarium sump on a bike! Bravo!

Looking forward to more updates. :)

Thanks for the kind words. My fish room is a time machine where I do not realize that time is passing. I don't have an easy chair but I do have a rolling office chair. A fish room bar fridge would be nice. I do have a bar fridge in the kitchen pantry ?.
