I love your videos and they have inspired me to make huge improvements to my 75 gallon fowlr. I already moved my GSP and am now interested in making a 'sump', i guess you could call it, out of my 30 gallon when I upgrade my freshwater to 55 gallons when I move to California. My idea was to attach the 30 to the 75 and putting smaller fish that I would not be able to keep with my lionfish and snowflake and trigger. I may keep some corals and was planing on an anemone or two. Yes, no, any ideas? ty
dumb azz mf he didn't get nylon bolt and screw set they told him to get nylon for a reason ha ha ha. the reason is its none toxic. metal is toxic and rusts releasing toxins into the tank. dumb a holes like him will set that shit up and wonder why his fish and corals are dieing off in six months thinking it could never be the sump cos its been there ages. lol
Hi I just watched your series and you have inspired me to go down the same path. One question though, where did you buy the DIY overflow kit from. Great job and wish you and your family a happy new year.
Yes, Home Depot. I think it was either in the glue or caulk section. I had to make a few adjustments on the design since I first built it but its going pretty good now.
Lol i work at the Depot!! But just an FYI i built that exact same overflow and it works great! But you should of used a bulkhead fitting for that and atleast 1'', it would;ve been more durable than the silicone, also if you incorporate a Durso Pipe into your Large box it will be 10x quieter than your current setup(trust me i know from experience)you will get some gurgling thats pretty annoying, but all in all good vid, Oh yeah dont forget the u-tube and the aqualifter!
Nice vid but nylon is a plastic. Nuts and bolts will rust and rust will harm your tank

is there really a return pump..or is it just a powerhead?

@hawaiinino
No, its a powerful return pump. A ph wouldn't be able to send the water up fast enough.

@mastainventa Completely uncalled for. No one asked you. What you are saying may be right but you could say it in a civilized way.

I actually brought all the separate parts and put it together myself. Used an acrylic specimen box for the main overflow.

if you already have a 10 gallon laying around its cheaper jst to buy an overflow

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no sound at all coming form the overflow. I followed the directions to a tee.
