Well...where do I begin?... I guess 1st a little back story... I have a 40g that I've been researching on installing an over-flow to my 20g sump. I am a little concerned about loosing siphon on my u-tubes/overflow. I am thinking about just drilling my acrylic tank.
What does this involve? Do I just lower the water level and drill away? Sounds too easy! What about bulkead size and proper flow? Then how high do I drill the holes? How can I remove the scum off the top of the water if the drain/strainer is submerged?
Should I also drill holes for the return or make the return go up and over?
HELP!!
I've stumbled on the concept of putting a SQWD on my return... I've also thought about putting a seperate closed loop system... would this be a waste?
It seems as if the more I research the more questions I have...
The best part is that I know have my wife's OK to get the sump going... Questions about the sump to follow once I figure this little dilema out!!
Thanks in advance!!
