Re: Roberts Upgrade!!! 45 to 150 Thread
800gph-1200gph overflow box.You may not need all 1200gph but thats what I would get.BTW,I recommend a Lifereef overflow box,those have gotten rave reviews for not not losing/slowing siphon.
As for return pump,what size sump is it?

Re: Roberts Upgrade!!! 45 to 150 Thread
yup. just tape and cover the sides and cover the top of the tank so breeze does not paint the inside of the tank. Good ole' Krylon works just fine

Re: Roberts Upgrade!!! 45 to 150 Thread
Any spray paint will do.I use a Krylon semi-flat paint,it dries quicker than glossy paint and looks the same through glass anyways.
For a 20g sump,I would go with a mag 9.5(950gph).Don't forget some powerheads for added flow.

Re: Roberts Upgrade!!! 45 to 150 Thread
Yep.Its actually pretty easy to build!!I stole the frame plans from this website NEW 100US Gallon DIY tank stand.... - Monster Fish Keepers.Just modified it a bit.It cost around 110.00 for material(not bad).Tomorrow im going to paint the back while the tank is still out side.Day after X-mas i will be moving it into the living with the stand.Im still waiting on my lights to be delivered and still haven't got a overflow box or pump.
