can someone please send me a diagram on how to build an average sump. Just need space for heaters, chemical filtraction and protein skimmer(no rocks or sand). I'm thinking of using a 29g tank as a sump for my 120 so i can save the money of buying a wet dry.
thanks

I don't have a diagram, but you may be able to use these pics....mine is a 30, sump, fuge. I have a hang on skimmer up top so i just took my old wet/dry filter pan and used it for some extra filtration, the baffles are an 1 1/2 apart, 12 inches tall and the width of the tank. i would go ahead and use yours as a fuge if i was you...it wouldn't hurt. I have a total of 40$ in mine.<1/4 inch plexiglass, and 2 tubes of aquarium glue.> i didn't have my sand and LR in it in these pics, as they were cycling at the time... i also glued 9 inch long by 1/2 inch wide strips of the glass to put that eggcrate on for a small frag area. it seems to be working quite well, and i have no micro bubbles getting back into the DT.
