Figured id show you guys the completed product since you helped me plan it out..i still have to find a plastic media basket to place under the drains to hold some carbon and rowaphos. Also i need to find a good priced battery back-up strip

the sump is a 20g high filled with all of the equipment; aquac remora skimmer w/maxi-jet 1200, coralife uv sterilizer, quiet one 6000 as main return pump, heater (we'll see if i need it), 24" coralife dual 55w twin tube light fixture, chaeto, LR & LS...

Heres a shot of the whole thing..you can see both overflows and the return jets..doesnt look to good without the black front/side pieces on (thats what the ugly velcro is for)! I also have two 48" Nova 4x54w T5 HO fixtures on order to go with my present AGA twin tube PCs. (if they all fit)

Looks great Ikon, love the wiring job. An electrician would be proud :lol:. Now all you need is to tie your light fixture up with string and you'll be all set for an electrical disaster just like me 8)

Just one suggestion, keep a close eye on those siphon tubes just in case... If you see air bubbles starting to form in them, make sure you keep them clean. Thats the one downfall with those siphon tubes, if too much air builds up in there you can have a problem on your hands real fast ;)
