Hi everyone. Signed up for this site because I need some help. I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank, and a drilled 125 gallon (both rear corners drilled and plumbed for both intake and out).
I inherited this aquarium, unsure size, around 40 gallons I think. I can't for the life of me figure out how to plumb it. It has a single hole drilled in it. At first it seemed to be a no-brainer, plumb from the sump that was included to the back of the tank and over. The problem is the side of the sump is drilled as well. So somehow I have to match from the pump, to the side of the sump, to up and over. To complicate matters I live in Japan where all the PVC sizes are different?
So the tank has sat in the house for several months now as I have no idea of where to go from here. I've included some pics so you can see what I am working with. I already have a pump. Not looking to do anything fancy, just basic plumbing for a saltwater fish or lobster (yes, wife likes keeping spiny lobsters) tank.
