APLATN13 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm starting to build me a nice frag tank with a sump. So, I contacted John at Advance Acrylic for a Frag tank and a custom sump. The spec of the frag tank is 24x12x8 3/8" thick with black bottom and back with a 1" bh hole on the top left back and a 1/2" bh hole on the top right back of the tank. Tank will be rimless with rounded corners and polished.The spec of the sump is 24x10x12 1/4" thick with a skimmer section of 7", return section at 3.5", an ato section of 4" and the rest of the space for the fuge. Sump will be made with black baffles with black sides, bottom and back.The tank and sump should be ready for shipping anyday this week. I am really excited. I have also placed an order with BRS for plumbing and some hardware.

Hopefully, we can come up something that will work with my sump There is alot more to plan and put together but hopefully all work out soon.Thanks,Anthony Link to comment

APLATN13 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Well, my ATI Sunpower came in today. So, i did the ceiling mount and hooked it up. Anyone got a SPS Schedule for the sunpower would be great! Still a newbie to the ATI stuff... Link to comment
