Hey everyone
I am in the process of upgrading my tanks into a 75 gallon innovative marine. I presently have a 37 gallon cube that is finally the way I wanted it. Levels have been really good and I'm happy with the results of three years hard work. I also have a peninsula mini 25 that is only 3 mths old. I'm contemplating combining both, but I don't want to jeopradize the 37 Gallon. I've waited a while to do this and I'm jumping in. I have bubble magus C3.5, 2 hydra 26, jebao 5000, aqua ultraviolet 15 watt UV. I'm pretty sure I will be needed more equipment in the future. I am pretty much a do it yourself type person because of money. Every tank I've had, I've done everything from building the stands to the plumbing and even made my sump. Sorry guys, I wish I could go the whole shebang. Maybe one day. I do have some questions though that I would love for peoples opinion. So here goes.
1) What size sump should I go with? I'm looking at the trigger sumps, Are they any good?
2) What plumbing is safer and better, external overflow, or an internal overflow? I have a choice between both. Not talking an AIO.
3) How do I do the transition to the new tank? What would be best? Like I said, I'd like to keep the levels almost on point from the 37 gallon.
4) would combining the new tank with the old do damage?
