Thanks for checking it out! I got the overflow box off of ebay. I installed my bulkhead from the hold I drilled first and held the box in place in order to figure out where I needed my 2nd hole. The box was less than $20. I used krazy glue to first install the overflow and followed up with black silicone around the outer edges and as far inside as I could get. The down side is when I installed the 90's inside the bulkheads the box fit perfect. But there is no way to remove the bulkheads without taking the box off... If I can get it off the tank since I glued it! It's been running for 6 months now with zero issues.
The bulkheads are 1" bulkheads, I can't remember if the bit was 1 3/4" or 1 7/8". The bulk heads came from
@Bulk Reef Supply and they have a chart that will tell you the bit you need.
It took my a few weeks to get the correct amount of water in the sump with the sicce 1.5. At first I thought it was the filter sock and mesh pieces in the sump that was restricting flow. All I needed to do was add more water to the sump to correct the flow error. I'm also running the PSK-75 skimmer so that will consume some of the water volume in the sump. And last I am running the
@Bulk Reef Supply Mini Reactor and that also will take about a cup of water out of the sump. For the reactor I am pulling water out of the skimmer section, running it through the reactor and pumping it into the return chamber.
It is also worth noting I had to cut the sump for it to work, as I had not initially planned to use this sump it was easier for me to modify the sump than to modify my plumbing. My emergency drain is plumbed into my return section just to ensure my return pump doesn't run dry. With such a small water volume to begin with the Sicce 1.5 is working perfect for me. I may eventually T off the return and use the Sicce to return water to my display as well as run my reactor.
