I really want to start my 55 gallon tank up after I get my 10 gallon finished with a light and a fish or something.
I had this really cool idea of a display fuge using an extra 20 gallon I have. I don't want to show the skimmer I have so I want to the connect the 20 gallon that will be a display fuge connect to the 10 that will be behind the 55 gallon tank. Like so,
But I need to know a few things first.
I want to know more about overflows and how they work(Drilled and HOB) So I know what I will go with for the 20 gallon(A HOB will be on the 55 gallon)
Do I need to drill for the water to go into the tank or what can I do for that?
I need a good return pump for this for preferably under $100 so any links or suggestion would be great.
Also water levels How should I plan those for a power outage?
I know alittle about sumps but this is fairly complex for what I am used to. if I can't do a 10 maybe use the 20 gallon and buy a 30 gallon tank for the DF on a $1 per gallon sale.
Any suggestions would be great! thank you
