I'll grab photo's a little later today, but I revamped my sump/refugium for my 5g display. I've cheated this time and went and grabbed a 2g Evolve, and then drilled it for inflow and outflow. I didn't want to drill the glass display, so my 'fuge is higher than my display.

 

EDIT: Okay, so I didn't grab the photo the same day, but here it is. The fuge is the thing on the box on the right. I have a few plants for light shields and such, for now though the fuge light is only on when the main lights are on for the tank.

I wonder how the sump above ended up working long term. Anyone else got more pico sump to share? I know the thread is old but better to bump one that already has the topic then to make a new one

I saw this at a swap last October on a standard 10g AGA. Similar concept.
