Here's the deal:
Right now I have my 46 gallon equipped with an Octopus BH-2000 HOB skimmer and a Aquaclear 110 filter that I converted into a makeshift refugium. I set it up this way (with everything hanging on the back) because my aquarium sits on a tv stand that has no room to set up a proper sump and fuge. However, I want to do things right, and so I'm thinking about either giving the tv stand a major makeover or buying an aquarium stand and trying to swap it out for the tv stand so that I have room to set-up a sump and a more suitable fuge.
The problem is: I'm broke right now, so depending on how much everything is going to cost, I might not be able to make the change as soon as I would like. However, I was hoping that you all might have some tips for a cheap overflow box/sump/fuge set-up. I've never done one before, and so I'm a little confused about where to even begin. Any help would be great.
Also, is it possible to turn the AC 110 filter into an overflow box? I'm a complete noob to all of this...
Thanks guys.
