Now is a better time then ever. Don't you think?

Calling acrlic suppliers now... Might build my own... But this setup will not be a perm setup anyway... Looking to upgrade in 1-2 years...

Not too impress of the rubber maid tub sump. Now that it's coming together.

You have an incredible Tenecor tank, steel stand, banging pumps and then you look underneath and it looks like you just threw something in there =-( Not to mention the fish you are putting in there.

It's like seeing a nice Lambo out on the streets and you lift up the hood to discover a Fiero engine =-(

Not feeling the rubber maid. Would be nice if you had a clear acrylic w.multiple chambers exposing the various media that makes up the monster filtration.

Can't jump on the bandwagon with the sump set up.
When you're creative the rubbermaid can be awesome! I've got a nice 75g acrylic sump that's custom made and it doens't get nearly as much attention as my frankenfilter:D

Don't get me wrong. A rubber maid tub as a sump works just as well and presumably better, but I just think with Li's set up, it doesn't fit.
