Picture is from beneath my 90G. I need to take a more recent picture as some things have changed.

My sump is still a work in progress I was super pressed for time setting it up. I could have done a better job fluidizing the k-1 media and will if the tank ever comes off the stand. but for now it is what it is. the Co2 is not on, I am using the controller to monitor the Ph. I also still need to add another bucket or 2 of matrix and the kaldness bio chips.
When I originally set the sump up the humidity in my house jumped off the charts but now with some lids on the sump it is a little better. I am waiting on a diamond hole saw to finish the lids. Hopefully the humidity will go down again with all of the lids on the sump.

You maximized the space under your tank!

just a 55 with one smartass LMB (9" monster)

waaaayyyyy over filtered (I add a few pellets just to keep the bioload high enough to support bacterial colonies).

Eheim 2229 wet/dry.. modified intake side, filled with eheim substrate... a 2262, 25% eheim mech. the other 75% scrubbies (about 60 in there...) a emp 400 for mechanical and a cheap aqueaon full of carbon.

this is a temporary setup while we close on our new house.. 2262 is going to be ready when it goes on my 125...

Here is some of my newly construction stand for my 125g.
Dont pay attention to the loose wiring. Im going through a heater fiasco at the moment so
am not going to secure the wiring until ive got my new heater in.

Very organized! Looks like a store counter.

Thank you!

I like to keep all of my stuff very neat.
Dont like having to search for something or fight through a mess of wires to get my hands on something.
