[@wittleMermaid13]

Helpful! Didn't think of having to put lid on sump for evaporation consideration!

Not helpful at all

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

[@davidlobo962]

You bring up a good point about evaporation

[@PacificWanderer]

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.

[@epatters1494]

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. ruclips.net/video/Vm9SrIYDrjk/видео.html

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

[@smalltown89]

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

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

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

[@thorbradshaw2637]

your stand looks nice too

[@johnmarcboswell9889]

thanks for the update!

[@Tony-yy9cc]

you doing good without a skimmer ?

[@muwuny]

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

[@epatters1494]

yes, the U tubes are a siphon system

[@thorbradshaw2637]

@@epatters1494 so theoretically if the siphon stops would it over flow the tank?

[@epatters1494]

@@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.

[@thorbradshaw2637]

@@epatters1494 good point thanks

[@taramozingo6063]

What happens when you have a power outage

[@epatters1494]

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.

[@KeViN-wg5xs]

Do ur lids warp from the heat from the lights, i tried with a thinner cut the plexiglass and it warped

[@epatters1494]

No warping, amd they are led so no heat

[@jkpisces]

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

[@epatters1494]

Thats what fish tanks look like

[@bobsaget9675]

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

[@markvasquez27]

Where did you get everything at ?
