About a month or so back my 46 gallon bowfront sprung a leak, so I moved everything out into a 30 gallon trash can, resealed the 46gallon, acquired a larger (55 gallon) sump, and moved the display downstairs to the family room (carpeted concrete floor) and plumbed for the sump which is now in the garage. Everything survived, and so far, no leaks! Here are some updated pictures. My tank is looking (to me) healthier than before, still have a little hair algae I'm dealing with, but not like before:

Looks good Wayne. Glad everything survived.

Nice setup.
By my count, there are 3 MJ's and 2 SEIO's in there. Is that right? If so, do you have any heat issues from the pumps? Could you provide some detail on your lighting setup, return pumps, etc?
My 75 is setup with 2 x 175 MH's and 2 x 110 VHO, with 2 MJ 1200's and a Via Aqua 2600 as the return pump and I have to run a fan over the sump 24x7 and 1 in the lighting hood when the lights are on. Without the fans, my temp creeps up toward the mid 80's. With the fans, I'm pretty steady at 79.
Just curious...

Everyone, thanks for the nice comments!
You are correct. In the display, 2 SEIO M820s and 3 MJ 1200s (moded for max output). The return pump is a Mag7. The display lighting is 2x96W PCs. Lighting on the refuge is 2 PC lightbulb fixtures from walmart, don't have any specifics, but my macro is growing like crazy.
I had heat issues when the tank was upstairs, would stay around 82 and I had a fan on the sump. But now, it's staying around 78 and I see the heater come on occassionaly and have not had to use a fan at all.
