So I know they?re not many online but I wanted to share my build. I started off with a 20 gallon rimless just to get something going till finding somthing bigger. I decide to drill it so you couldnt see the gear. As some of you know I drilled first hole fine next one shattered tank 🤬 first tank Ive ever busted?.
Mad.I went on the hunt by that night I had a JBJ RL-30 lined up from a buddy. Wasnt huge fan because was an all in one but figured why not brought home the next night and it all started which was on September 27. I drilled the tank that night just to clear my head ha ha ha.

Time for plumbing. I know the valves are junk just have them laying around change them out later and need another union. This build is design on a dime with everything I already have laying around for now. FYI nothing glued till later

Looks pretty good though! I?m not a huge fan of AIO tanks due to the limited space for equipment. But this is a solid idea! What are you planning to use for a sump? DIY?

Need to hide wires but that?s after the move in the house.

For now sumps for equipment only due to size. looking for somthing bigger I can fit before sump build hard working with such small space.
