The only thing I like more than aquarium photo's is setup photos. Maybe I am just crazy. Lets see your sumps canisters timers air pumps and whatever else you got going on in your stand or setup that makes your aquarium as cool as it is. I will start This tank is a 55 gallon with a poly bichir




I know there are some sweet cleaner setups out there I want to see them :)

The picture on the top is not a DIY sump. It is part of my automated water change system. You turn the knob, water goes into the bin, you flick a switch (middle two photos) on the switch box to activate the pump. Pump water out of the tank until it reaches the painted mark. Turn the pump off and add chemicals to water. Flip both levers and turn the pump back on until all water from the bin is in the tank. Middle two photos are of the switch box (It's hard to take a photo of metal without a glare). The box just controls power to Filters, Lights, Heaters, etc... The last photo is of my two Eheim 2217's and my tetra AP300 air pump. If you look carefully we also have dimmers that my father and I will later install to control light brightness.20160103_010343.jpg 20160103_010135.jpg 20160103_010233.jpg 20160103_010123.jpg

Not sure why my reply wasn't included above?...
What I said is, I really like the painted PVC. Nice clean look! Do you paint and then glue, or glue and paint it in place?
