Thank you for posting this video it was super helpful 👍😁

This is actually how i silenced my diy pvc overflow sump. No air in the overflow also mean more efficient water flow

So into this right now Thanks for the advice. I only have 40lt s tank. Your going bigger lol .

You bring up a good point about evaporation

thanks for the update!

your stand looks nice too

Damn! Any chance you have a video on it, or the plans for this? I need to do something like this for mine, because the tank is already set up. I cant install a sump that needs a hole in the glass, and all of the options I see are ugly but this is beautiful

Would you consider doing a video breaking down the sump and how you’ve been able to do it without drilling. I understand I probably need an overflow box but beyond that I’m a little confused.

Here is the link to the first video I posted on this setup. Currently this tank is no longer set up so all I can do as of now is answer questions. Hope this video helps. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKFttdSCiafYms4.html

What happens when you have a power outage

The pump shuts off, and about 1-2 gallons of water drains to the sump. There is a weep hole in the discharge side drilled at a specific height.

but what about all the fish poop on the tank floor bed ?

What about it? Perfectly normal and with good flow will pass and be replaced...its part of the game

Is it just siphoning that pulls the water out of the tank?

yes, the U tubes are a siphon system

@@thorbradshaw2637 yes, if it lost siphon the pump would overflow the tank until it ran the sump chamber dry, which is only about a gallon.

Bulk Reef Supply is usually my go to online store.

Why would you have them right beside each other. that's probably why your water looks like s***. Awesome set up though but you do realize your intake is right where you're outtake is and sort of defeats the purpose.

Did you even watch the video? outflow pipe from the pump is on the right side of the tank, and the intake from the overflow is on the left side. Not sure how you think they are right next to each other? thanks for "watching"

you doing good without a skimmer ?
