Murat,
It was great to see someone from Turkey post here.
I am from Izmir originally and wish you all the best of luck in your build.
Please keep us informed and make sure to post as many pictures as you can. Oh and BTW if you ever have plans to come to Florida you need to call me.
Talk to you later.

How many more pipes do you have to silicone into the glass? You might actually be better off having a box full of Uniseals shipped over. Even after shipping it would probably be cheaper than all that silicone. They are cheap and light, so shipping wouldnt be too much.
Well maybe I will have it shipped next time round as I have already done the job. The silicone I use in the Outer side of the tank or where the water will not touch is a cheap one. Cost 2.25 YTL around 1.75 per tube. However in the tank or where there is water content I use Aquarium silicone which cost about 4 USD per tube. I do not think this is too much of a cost but I believe it better to use bulkheads or ready made stuff as it is cleaner and better adjusted for the jpb...
To keep everyone updated:
I have managed to finiskh off the quarntee system completely.
Also in the main tank I have re siliconed all the bits for a better look.
Finished the return plumbing too.
Now I am currently working on making the return pumps dry inside the sump. Made a box looking like this!
The intakes are different from each other to make sure the water is sucked from all around the sump.
Now A big problem I have. How do I return this water form the pumps to the tank. I am currently thinkin of drilling two 40 mm hole to the side of one of the flow boxes and letting the water run out from there! Something similar to this box by usning silimar attachment tools. Something like bulkheads!
direction? Would tWould this be too much current in one his be too much surface current? Should I direct one of them towards the centre by using a 45 degree elbow?
I am not sure what to do. I want to keep everthþng very simple: Here is a simple drawing I made. So if you can play around with them to show what ý should exactly do?
Thank you again forum!
