adnup - nice job! I'm working on a 90 gal and running the overflow coast to coast using two 1-1/2" bulkheads, my question is you mention some gurgling in the overflow, do you have any 90 degree elbows in there? I see you have the modified durso on the outside of the tank but does that work the same without the 90 elbow? If so that would save alot of realestate, I could just make the overflow stick out 2" but if I used an elbow it would need to be at least 4"-5" away from the back wall.

you can use a MPT/barb elbow fitting. it takes up much less room than a pvc elbow

Well, yesterday I cut the top trim off the tank. Somewhere along the line I read someone saying it was hard to do.
So I used my dremel and cut along the center line of the top of the tank. I used a gasket scrapper to pry under the trim. For the most part it came right off and was very easy....

Re: Sump
Re: Sump
I have a similar sump design/setup and you probably need to add a sock filter to prevent too much junk flowing nto your skimmer ot recycle back to the tank; it might also create lots of micro bubble into your return pump if you do not introduce a baffle... not to mention the noise...
nice progress

Heres the sump I'm going to use. Its not pretty but it works. Thanks to Steven M for the Weld-On to fix the leak in this "Freebie"

artc1688 - that was just the mock up of the pvc. I will use a sock and a longer tube on the drain. I usually make it long enough to extend into the water level in the sump so its quite. And on the return line I'll put a 90 facing down so as not to (hopefully) send any bubbles into the tank.

adnup, I have more than 2 posts now. Tank looks better in person than the pictures show. Keep up the good work.
