    I truly love how on fire you are about sharing what you love. It is inspiring to watch and I love the creative ideas you have that bring so much to your aquariums and also to your presentation in your videos. I have learned so much in the short time since i discovered your channel and I truly appreciate you sharing all of the cost effective and resourceful solutions you come up with and how clearly you explain things. Keep doing what you do and never stop. You are providing an invaluable resource to those of us that share a love for various aquatic stuffs. My turtle, Bowser (Mario Bros reference), and his abnormally and freakishly large goldfish roomie, Cleo (Pinocchio reference), 2 plecos, and 3 minnows and a surprisingly fast breeding mess of mystery snails, also extend their heartfelt gratitude for teaching me things that help keep their tank healthy and them happy. They will soon be moving into a much more spacious 55 gallon with a diy basking platform on top (so Bowser can work on his tan more), from their current 29 gallon and your videos have helped me have a good understanding of filtration and tank health and I am now confident that I can diy an awesome filtration system without breaking the bank. I currently have a Fluval 107 canister filter and a hang on double waterfall filter (ugly with a way too strong flowing output) and also under gravel filtration because i figured why not so i know i will need to beef up the filtration because of the bigger tank and ive been trying to decide on what kind to make. I am diy-ing a surface skimmer currently to put the Fluval input tube down into to keep plant parts from clogging the input up as much so hopefully that works like i want it to and am making some fake rocks for the basking platform wall to hide the guts of the platform and make it prettier hopefully. Anyways, i just wanted to share my appreciations and bowsers tank stuff with you and hopefully you enjoyed reading this novel i have just written here and i wouldn't be mad if you had any advice or must watch videos you could direct me to that are also relevant to my situation possibly. Ok so if you are still reading this i will end by saying thank you for your passion and bye.

    I like the Slim Overflows because they take up very little space. I’m sure you would have been able to pipe them separately so both tanks were separate still with sumps, however there is nothing wrong with an internal filter. When done right you get a much easier to maintain system than with a sump.

Black acrylic might make it look cleaner if you're not going for cheap cheap. I really love this idea and will definitely use this when I some day get a huge tank. I am not a fan of canisters at all and afraid of drilling a tank for a sump. Thank you, Joey, brilliant as always.
