This is a DIY overflow and sump I made for about $50-$60 using a 10 gallon tank, specimen boxes and silicone tubing.

oh my god you are the whitest black guy i have seen why cant all black people be like you?

[lexdiamond20]

@hereforyourmom Oh man!

[vdre3]

would the same measurements work for a 55 gallon tank with a 10 gallon sump?

[lexdiamond20]

@vdre3 Yes.

[procharged70cutlass]

can you over complicate a simple BAD thing to do. drill the damn tank and be done. let me know when your floor floods

[lexdiamond20]

@procharged70cutlass

Can you explain how I would drill a fully stocked tank? Would be more work to remove all live stock, drain, find another 30g container to keep everything, and pray for a crash not to occur. Ill keep you posted about that flood when one occurs though.

@infantry1560 What does his color have to do with the video? That has to be the most ignorant off the wall comment I have seen.

Can you please hook me up with that manual you had there that told you how to make an overflow box?

[jpwhite00892]

just buy an overflow box bro, much easier to deal with. I would always prefer a tank with the back wall drilled though. good luck though hope it works

[thefirstbrianmiller]

those bolts/nuts will rust unless they're stainless. Looks good though.

hi there i like your tank it looks good just have 1 question where did you get your specimen boxes if you dont mind me asking

[GangstaPengie]

Hey I know I am late but to increase the box gph add one or two more u bend tubing so then it will be faster then the output on the pump. Without restricting the pump.
