Sump DIY tutorial needed

Valkyrie · May 2, 2016

I have a 10g that I want to convert to a sump for my 29g and I'm looking for a GOOD YouTube video that lays out what I will need and how to proceed. So far I've tried to watch a few videos that have enlightened me no further than when I started the search, LOL

I'm also sensitive to voices, I can overlook most but if there's a lot of hemmin' and hawin', uhms and uhhhs, I get annoyed and a migraine.

There must be an informative, instructive video that I can watch over and over again until I'm sure I can do this myself. I want to build it since I have about 3 10g tanks and I just don't see why I should by a prefab set up. I'm also trying to save a little money.

Suggestions? Thank you so much.

I'd check out the sump posts here. They give very detailed instructions! My post glb's 40g upgrade has several great posts about building one. Here's the link. I think the sump info is towards the beginning. Good luck!
