    I like the return setup, that is a very good way to return the water.

    Its full and the sump is running. We are still moving stuff from my tank over but we have made a lot of progress this week. The stand still needs two panels skinned but its no biggie. Here are some awesome pics my sister took with her D60. The FTS are not the D60 though.
