Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I will review the thread and make up something! Your overflow is on the right side as you face the tank correct? 12"x28"x18". Final pump choice ... want to make sure the pump chamber is big enough to not run dry before you get home each day lol. How tall are the teeth on the over flow? Want to make sure that we have enough sump capacity for drain down to prevent a sump overflow during a power outage. Black walls on each side of the fuge? Clear or Black bottom on the sump? Are you going to have an ATO? Do you need a sump for the ATO?

Yes. Right rear if you are facing the tank. Other owner had it in the left rear.

I'm not sure about an ATO resevior yet prob just a tank with a lid for a while.

Reservoir or sump same thing. A container to hold your top off water.

Ok. Right now just inexpensive and functional. I was thinking just a glass tank with a glass lid

Looks like your sump will be big enough to include a top off reservoir, I'm sure he meant do you want him to include it in the design. That's a solid option and a nice sump that has it built in.

I have never seen one built in. The pics here are the only sumps I've seen other than LFS.

@Lowell Lemon the pump will be whatever y'all tell me to get. Inexpensive please. 100.00 or less.

I've seen a few, and it nice to have I'm sure. I think your sump will be big enough that it wont take away from function. Something like this.

Ooooh that is pretty!!!! I never knew you could have that!

Grab the jebao 4000.

You can get them for around $65. Very nice.

 

[mch1984]

All depends on room available, but if @Lowell Lemon agrees you have enough I would go for it. Super convenient and looks good.

I'm grateful for anything he is kind enough to make for us. I can deal with anything.

I was leaning that way. Of course I'll try to pick up a backup JIC later.

 

[dantimdad]

yep I have a backup 12000. LOL. I am going to try and trade it for a 4000. Even turned all the way down it's too strong.

I will keep my eyes open. Ya never know...

I know I am going back but buy the best you can afford, vectra M1 will be a bigger investment but is silent and very adjustable, mine runs the display through a spray bar, if your budget is $100 get the best one for that money, it might save on future upgrades?
