    That looks great, did you make the sumps yourself?

    The sumps and stand are custom. I plan to put together a build thread here soon. I still need to make the doors and a canopy but they are not a focused so much as the HDPE sump and refuge. I have seen a swarm of attention to acrylic and rightfully so due to it's transparency but for a sump Its quite pricy. I picked up a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" hdpe from Menard's for $54 and hdpe is far beyond acrylic for its durability and workability. Only one problem; Transparency.
