Greg: I have some what of a strange question. In your design you placed the sump under your tank and built the wet room behind the tank. Why not place the sump in the wet room where you would have access to attend to all of the things that take place in the sump.

For me I have the fuge, add chemicals, skimmer, return pump that needs to be serviced. Just wondering.

Thanks

Fred.

I have no equipment in the sump. All the equipment like skimmers are in the wet room.

The sump being 6 foot long would not fit well in a wet room. Fits great under the 8 foot long tank.

I am new to this hobby and find your tank very interesting. May I ask a stupid question, how do you clean the inner face of the glass panels?
