moving all and DIY sump/Light

[waelaase]

Hello,
I used to have a 400 litre tank for 1 year, it used an external filter
Old Album here
2 weeks ago the Filter crashed so i decided to make sump
but no place in the tank so i decided to move all to my old corner tank and create a Sump in it
Here is the Old tank that will be used Cleaned and ready for Water move from the other tank

Emptying the tank and removed Rocks

I found a giant star (ID please?)

Fish in a container filled with tank water and powerhead to move water till all moved

Tank Filed with water and rocks and added a proteinskimmer

Tank Filled but not cleared yet

the SUMP
i have an unused 1 meter tank
i decided to make it 3 rooms
1st for incoming water from Aquarium and some rocks and Skimmer
2nd will have dsb, and some rocks, plants and maybe some creatures or fish
3rd for flowback powerhead
here is the steps (i used CDs to make the spaces)

I created a PVC overflow as i cannot make holes in the the tank (it's 10 years old)

I created one from 3/4" but was not enough so i created one from 1"

the tubing from the above is connected to powerhead in the sump to remove any air
