What are those big white and gray tank looking things?

Looks good and yes, in a way you do have a sump. All a sump is really is the lowest tank in the system that is most likely to have the largest water level fluctuations.

Those big grey and white tanks are 400L tanks standing one on top of the other.
When I first saw them I realized that I could put one on top of the other and create a simple pump and drain system. I also intend to use a couple within the sump as small containers for managing the fish.
I bought a dozen and intend to keep 4 and sell the rest for $135 each.
They require the lids to be cut out and at the same time it is possible to leave part of the lid in and attach pipes or a pump to.
I'm in Margaret River, so anyone down here who wants one can give me a ring on 0419927196.
