Finally got the sump up and running!

Built my own 10 gallon sump, its pretty busy in there! I kept my old biowheel from my old penguin filter and placed it in the flow, Im thinking of making the bottom left corner area a little refugium. have my heater in there and protein skimmer hanging on which I had to put an extension on. Lots of work...what do you think?

thank you...does anybody know how to silence or stop the gurgling from the overflow?

The gurgling will often go away after a couple days.

Great work...keep the bio-wheel squeaky clean!

thanks! its amazing how much those little drip shelves help and can be multifunctional, I can put a poly filter there, maybe a regular filter, the biowheel, anything!

Looks really good. I like your idea of making a fuge in the corner. A ball of cheato would fit nicely in there.
