How about the heaters in the sump, does that work well to maintain a constant temp?

I dont know for sure,I havent started to use the filter yet.
Still need to work on the tank,but it should work fine.

one thing- but it is not really a major design flaw:
the filter bags can not be allowed to get clogged up or it will overflow, no real safety for that.

I knew something was wrong with that part.

I WON! I WON!! I can't believe it, I never win anything.... I would like to thank my mom, and dad, and my special little lady.....

That was the only part that looked scary to me.
One other thing, you know how acrylic tends to sag? you may want/need to add support to the drip plate. smaller, normal sized sumps may not require it, but this is a monster wet/dry.

Well you posted the answer 2 min. after I did so that dont count .

I have thought about the drip plate sagging but with the bio area filled with media it should be ok.
If not I will just flip it every so often when I do maint. on the filter.

Thanks for following the build.

Good luck making your sump,post lots of pics please.

Gosh!!! This is the stuff dreams are made of. I wish........I wish.

We have recently relocated to Barbados where we desire to let our hair down and enjoy life a bit. But after the dust settles from the move.... I plan on building the tank I've seen only in my dreams. This w/d DIY project has inspired me to start living my dreams sooner that the dust settling.

Good Job....... well done....... I am inspired to do
