looks like you are having a lot of fun w/ that project


wish had more time (and 'skills')
to play around w/ acrylic making/designing sump etc - really nice when one can custom design/build it themselves...


like the 'fuge' design that you came up with also.

re overflow design you are using
not familiar w/ those type of nano tanks... but wouldnt it just be easier to drill the back of the tank add a bulkhead and some pvc then be done w/ it?

regards

That is how I would have liked to done the overflow but the glass is temperd and did not want to take the chance of is breaking.

Seems to be fine. One issue now is my Aqualifter died and the overflow is to slow without it I think. Water level to higher than I want.

 

[PrecisionPhotos]

That weird I've never heard of an Aqualifter making the overflow flow more

Did you end up using all of your live rock that you had left over? The tank looks great the way you put the rock

 

[DarkFORCE]

I still have some rock. I might be breaking some up and putting it in the third chamber.

Added some sump photos.
