    my 55g & I are newbies

    Im so jealous you scored on that MH lighting setup, I've have been looking for something exactly like that for my 55. I was only able to fit a 10g sump into mine. Good luck with everything, it looks great. Does your overflow also feed your canister, or is that tube separate? I've also been...
