Upgrade to 75

[ssky]

Just upgraded from 45 to 75 gallon. The journey started when I purchased a marineland tank and stand last thanks giving from petsmart. Since then I was collecting equipment slowly and reading a lot on how to upgrade.

In the process, I built my first ever sump with 3 sections. Also it was the first time ever that I touched the plumbing side of things; from cutting pvc to gluing and all that.

Adding pictures.

Congrats! Looks great. One question, will you be moving the heater to the sump? Also is that the max water height in the tank?

Super nice like Robzilla04 said is that the height your running I'm curious cause that's the same overflow I'm installing seeing if that's the water line height is where the box is located


Also what's the dimensions of that tank ??

The heater will be placed in the sump. Currently I waiting for thing to settle down and then I will raise the water level and fill up my sump. Right now the sump is not in operation. To raise the water level with this overflow box, I drilled the holes by placing the template inside instead of outside. I can give you details if you are confused.

Thanks for the encouragement.
