Hey guys I'm thinking of building my own sump since it needs to fit the space I had in mind. Can anyone recommend the basic tools that I may need? I already have a circular saw (big one), but I doubt if that will work since it's a little bit oversize for what I really need. (I don't have a...

It's probably in the rear left or right in the overflow- He had a custom tank made by Glass cages. The 1.5 is decently ideal for an overflow for a rimless shallow! Does the tank have 1 or two holes? The bigger one should be the drain-

I'm in south jersey! I had to meet up with my tenant and see my tank. :)

I took a few pictures in Aquatic Obsessions and I'll post them up a bit later- I had spoken to a friend before I drove up there and he had placed an order for the same tank- he's picking up next week. And there was another couple there (I think they're members here too) who wanted to see the "45...

Picked up the tank!!!! I plan on working on it tomorrow after work, I can finally finish the base and trim work and figure out some plumbing routes. One thing I didn't realize with the overflow is the tight squeeze- this may present a slight problem with my initial plan of dual drains (one...

It is preferred NOT to restrict any pump since it is already working against back pressure from the water. Often times we get a pump that's too powerful for what we really need it for and often times may be necessary to throttle it down (within reason), but it's not ideal for longevity of the...

I was thinking about that but I wanted a sleek piece of metal instead of having a joint in the corner, I was thinking of the bar since I have access to a torch and could easily heat up the bar and bend it to the desired angle. I'm usually better at thinking of stuff when I have it in front of me...

I was planning to use the flat iron bars available in Home depot, they usually have a small section by the hardware area, they measure like 1" x 1" x 6 foot (also available in 1" x 2"), but as Jeff mentioned, I'll probably look into electrical conduit as well. I wanted to go as thin or as small...

:D Old ways yes, New twist yes.... :) I prefer the non-existent poop clean up that fish and corals produce. Water changes are OK, but they are far and few in between instead of every other day! I don't know why the second pic above isn't working, here it is again:

Here's the plan.

So last night I was racking my brain on light hanging options- I really like the look of the solana pendants and I wanted to replicate something from a budget standpoint. After looking at options online (very very few by the way), I decided to create my own using square tubing, but my...

thanks Bax!

Hey Matt, your post is a little hard to read without punctuations, so are you trying to say that the tank is almost overflowing? Is the sump almost overflowing? Does the tank have an overflow box built in or is it just pre-drilled? Can you take a pic of the setup if possible?
