    my sump project

    The story so far I am going to have two small tanks as a spilt sump being as I can not remove the main support of the cabinet I have found a 30 l Dennerle Nano Cube fits in just nice joined with two 50mm bulkheads . That will give me an extra 60l on a 100l tank I hope I will be ok , at the mo I am unsure what I am going to put in these sumps I am still thinking about that20150415_123631.jpg20150415_123706.jpgAs you can see there is not a lot of room I think a skimmer is out of the question plus with weekly 10% water changes I think I will be ok . This is the diy overflow I am going to make

    Next thing I have to decide is do I go for a 1000lph brand new pump or go for a second hand one that is more powerful ?

    I'v got to say that a Jebao DC2000 Return Pump would be just right for your tank Dave
