coming along now isn't it!
when you said about the stand clashing with the wiers did you meen the pipes coming from the wiers?
i take it you sorted it out!!
so the sump will just sit right in the middle of the block legs?
can't wait to see the glass tanks in there, get a better idea of the set up and scale of it! i work a lot with the concrete blocks so get a good idea of size looking at that picture but will look big once the glass is in!
making me a bit jealous now, i want one! only problem is my gardens about the same size as your shed!

well better to take more time then go ahead not knowing if its right or not.
didn't you already have the 6x2x2 sump already??
was that just to compensate for the blocks taking up more room?
so is there just going to be 1 wier at the back and the return coming in on the opposite side?

2 weirs one at each side in the middle of the 6ft width/front to back thats why you see the open run up the middle to give space for the pipes 2 x 40mm drain pipes in each weir and 4 x 27/34mm return pipes 2 in each weir
in each weir you will have 2 x drains 40mm each and 2 x return pipes which will return back up the weir and exit at the tops

stunning catfish, hope it all works out great!
what are you doing about the filter, you going to put all the existing media from your filters into the new sump to give it a kick start?

a lince cat will max out at around 30inch but they need lots of swimming space as they are always on the move like a shark which is what has held me back buying one in the past
the smallest i have ever seen a lince imported at is 12inch for some reason you never see them smaller
