After leak test done on the sump tank....

Here are the end result with the sump tank, etc.....

The skimmer will be there while the drop-in coil will be behind the skimmer.

Piping has completed with the part connecting to my return pump.

Migration would be whole day require with the reusing the return pump, reconnecting the drop in coil into the new sump tank... not forgetting the transferring of the existing livestock and corals.

Here are the FTS of the tank.

Any suggestion on the rock scape for this configuration?

I always have this phobia about acrylic giving way. So I must commend you for a brave move to use acrylic.

Hi Bro.
Thanks for the encouragement and is going to difficult to keep the acrylic clear without scratches during algae cleaning.....

Ya that's another thing to worry about. So how do you plan to prevent scratches?

I'll need to do more scrubbing to prevent algae from build up

Another thing. All the plumbing at the back any plans to concea it? Or are you allowing nature to take it's course and let the build up of coraline algae do the job.

No plan to conceal it.
Let the nature do the work..

Hi Sharon.

I'm design based on the overflow configuration used and also how i have the compartment for the sump tank.

As for the lights, I'm not using any selling from LFS or off-the-shelves, I do my own LED lighting.

Just wondering where you get those woods to diy? Planning to diy a wood if the cost is lower than asking someone to make

Hi bro.

Is depend on the types of wood as it varies accordingly.

With proper tools and space to do the DIY, probably the cost is lower comparing using the same types of materials.
