Hmm I will see what i can do on that. Thanks daugherty.

Do you mean like going off the 90 and put a T on top of that with the inlet under the water and the top of the T out of the water?

Ok i actually put on 2 90's to raise the water where i want it. The overflow gurgles like crazy and when it gets to the sump its all bubbles and Very Noisy! I dont think it would be comfortable to sit and watch tv in the living room with it like that. HMMM You know how it sounds when a glass is...

Well I know that it will only drain as fast as you can pump back up but my question was if you think i should goto a bigger pump as my overflow seems to run faster than my pump? Or do you think that the 90 is going to cure the suction of air due to my drain being faster than the pump returning...

Ok Its Wet but to bad its with freshwater right now LOL Just got all the plumbing done yesterday and test run today!! I have only one problem ...:grumble: My Overflow is faster than my pump. HMMM i think i need to goto a bigger pump now. I currently have an Odyssea 700 GPH pump I added a ball...

It may have worked but it was definitely rude and uncalled for. Everyone on this site is very nice and extremely helpful. I have not been here long on this site but so far from what I have seen it is one of the best and most helpful without alot of the :pooh: that some of the forum sites have...

results are in and it was all a success you can see pics in my diy 75 gal tank thread :)

Ok as i am planning my new DT and am starting to think about just doing a scrubber in my sump rather than fuge and skimmer do you think i would have a good outcome from day one or should i still plan other methods in my sump?

If it was tempered ir would shatter all over the entire glass not just cracks. Ever seen a windshield or a store window get broken?? That is tempered glass. You need a good Diamond Coated Glass hole bit see my post in for my 75 gal build i just drilled my 3 holes tonight and all were a success i...

YaY all 3 holes drilled after the first one it was like a walk in the park 45 mins and all 3 holes are done done done :^:

Ok next Noobi Question. I have an nice size overflow box for the inside of the tank just laying around. For ultimate skimming to sump what do you guys think about using the overflow box after I drill the tank tonight or should i just use a 90 elbow and strainer in the tank instead. I am planning...

Thanks for the encouragment hornet i am so looking forward to this. I will post pics on my build post as soon as i get it drilled :)

I help anywhere i can. When it comes to the DIY stuff i have been reasearching it for months upon months now. I want it to be most diy for my reef when i get done :)

No you will deffinatly want to pick up an acutal bulk head. When it comes to cutting corners to save a buck you are asking for trouble. Always do it the best correct way expecially when you come to the bulkhead. and if your gonna drill the tank be sure to get a diamond coated bit 45mm for the...

Yeah particle board would be kinda scary in a 75 expecially with the full water weight of a 75 being 800 lbs and more with the LS and LR :shock:
