sump building 101

[Melonbob]

Yeah, I was going to put it on a 2.5" stand, this gives me 2.5" to remove skimmer pump, I only need 1/2" technically. My plan was 12" on skimmer side, 14" on fuge side and return in the middle. The sump is 45" long, 15" for skimmer, and the fuge/return splitting the other 30", I have 3 - 20lbs of sand for the fuge area, I have nothing else to use it for as its caribsea grey coast, and I don't want black sand in display.
