Well here is my 120 gallon DIY sump I have been working on in my off time. this will run my 120 gallon cube (from the garage)
I think the design should work rather well with very large capacity for the refugium.

The first pic shows how bad the tank was bowed ( I figured I would post this one first so you can see the reason why the seams arent perfect..:cool: )
it was very difficult geting the peices cut to fit correctly..

Nex is a picture with captions explaining the way this sump will function....

The rest are just pictures of various angles of the sump...

I cant wait to have this bad boy running so I can see it in action!!!
Hopefully within 2 weeks it will be running...
