    @cheekychops - Really great tank! Im planning on building a similar tank.

    Could you give me some advice on your hidden sump?
    1. What heater and pump do you have in there?
    2. Whats the Coke Bottle for?
    3. Any other advice for hidden sumps in and the wood box/base that it came with.

    Thanks.@ryanj252
    hidden sump is pretty easy to make. make sure you drill the holes into your tank before you silicone the glass to the back of your tank. drill multiple holes at various levels as if a hole gets blocked or the water level drops you could mess up your pump.

    1. What heater and pump do you have in there? i have a 50w standard hearter, the pump is a small 200l an hour pump.. really depends on that size tank you have.
    2. Whats the Coke Bottle for? i have 2 coke bottles filled with sugar and yeast producing co2 which i pump into my tank
    3. Any other advice for hidden sumps in and the wood box/base that it came with. see above... dont hesitate if u want some more details.
