Love the new avatar! Can we take a guess who that might be?

 

[Trasique]

probably just my eyes, but doesnt this base look like its bending in the centre

 

[jacquesb]

Dallas - that's a reall FANTASTIC looking sump man! And a MONSTER Pump! But - quick question - is that pump just going to FEED the skimmer with tank water? Or do you mean it is actually going to be the skimmer pump as well? I just LOVE your sump design! AWESOME! Is that perspex? It sure does not look like glass?

@dallasg I just heard there has been a mass recall of those pumps internationally. Apparently something to do with them blowing and leaking resin after 80 hours of use...
