i decided i wanted more than a 10g sump on this thing so i went and got 3 15g drilled tanks from fish biz in fwb for $20 each and went to building a stacking system similar to a prop setup a had in TN.
in this pic the door to the "sump tower" is closed just to show how nice the system looks pushed all the way against the wall. don't mind the tank i have yet to clean it out due to all the DIY stuff i am doing now.

this pic shows the tower with the door open. the top level is the Auto top off system made from a 10g wal mart tank. the second level is to be the frag tank. and the lower level will be the fuge. there will be a third 15g tank in the main tank cabinet than will be for extras like the heater skimmer and return pump(mag 7 probably)

Who was shooting the pics?? Great pictures. What did you do to my corner tank?? I can't wait to see it set up. Some days I feel like scraping the 180g and doing a tiered frag system. That's what I had originally planned to do, but got sidetracked with the purchase of the 90g and the 180g.

my wife shot the pics. and what have i done to the tank you ask. A LOT! you should add a tier to the side of your 180. i don't think it would be too hard to do.

thanks for the kind words sue.

Actually, James, I think you should sell me your 180 and do a tiered system. ;)

Actually Tony, I am going to sell my 180g system and do a 40g tiered system. If one you guys want it, once again, I'll consider payments and/or partial trades. I have somewhat of a plan in mind, but haven't narrowed it dwown yet. I think when I look at Johnny's set up, I will get a better picture in my head.
