you got it. It's not clean, but it works. I'm in the middle of 1, 2, no wait all my projects! :tongue:
The other portion to this setup, is not below the tank, but behind it.
Here's the top-down of my overflow, you can also see the hole on the wall to the left of the overflow. I also added a maggie muffler to the right hand side drain, it was too loud for the more sensitive ears in the room.
Then, you can see the drain and it entering the wall.
I need to clean the skimmer cup before the cup collection thread starts!
After the skimmer section comes the fuge area that has turned into a coral overflow from the DT. (I have a coral addiction problem)
This is a picture I took about a week ago. The clowns were from a friend tearing down his tank. They are hosted in the acan, sleep together every night on the side of that big guy. So, I cannot in any way separate them from their acan, I would feel too bad.
Then it goes up a mag9 and returns over the top of the tank out front.
This is what it looked like 1 1/2 years ago. The DT had been setup with a HOB for About 6 months before adding the sump.
It was simple at this point. However, as time ticked by, I have added a few things to the sump.
