Ok guy I found another one of my famous deal 125 comes with stand, pluming, pumps, light, skimmer, sump, 95% of everything i need going to pick it up Saturday. The bad part is I wont be building or posting my build till I move into my new house so no huge build pics for a few weeks.

ok guys still no pics and I am sorry but I am doing alot of planning for the build so I get it right the first time. I have learned a lot from you all but the things i have not done and may need help iis build a DIY sump and an alge scrubber. the plan is sump out of my old 55 which I think will be easy and I am pretty sure I know whaat I am doing. The other is an alge scrubber. I think from what i understand all I will need is two small water pumps, some PVC, a piece of screen, and lights. if any one has a scetch of one that may help but I am going to draw one up and post itt later.
