Ok thanks for your help! Where is the overflow typically positioned?

Is that a decent tank, I don't know much about how bulkheads and overflow positioning impact the build.

I've heard that having a skimmer rated for twice the gallons of your tank can be beneficial, is this true?

Hi guys, I was recently given the advice to pick my skimmer prior to picking the sump. I am definitely going with a 120 display, with a 36" trigger or aqueon sump. I know the trigger can harbor the skimmer in the first stage but requires it be elevated, whereas the aqueon requires the skimmer...

Haha j/k

OK, so I almost feel bad that there is an entire thread dedicated to helping me, I'm definitely taken back by all the interest and support. Much appreciated! I signed up and sent in the dues, I'm just waiting for the approval...hopefully no hazing. I've done some research on two sumps that I...

Thanks all, I'm sure I'm going to have a ton of questions regarding plumbing when I get there. Originally, I was considering going with the Red Sea Max S series, but now I think I'm leaning towards building the system. I am going to sign up for the membership and start with the tank, then sump...
