Hello braintrust of R2R - I want to add an external sump to my system. I have an IM Nuvo 20P AIO. After way too much time down the rabbit hole it seems like to accomplish this I have (4) options: 1 - Use an external overflow (I am a little worried about failure on this option) 2 - Drill the...

(Drainage in this case being the pipes going from overflow to sump. Also, sorry if this is in the wrong forum lol.) I don't plan on making one because I don't have the money, and I'm not making a sump + refugium for a 10 gallon aquarium, at least not right now. Maybe in the future, when I'm...

I am selling a used 180 gallon glass tank , Eurobraced style , 72x24x24 , has built in overflow as seen in photos, two returns , comes with solid wood black stand . Access to stand is from back of tank but you could add doors if you want. Tank and stand is located in Middleton, Massachusetts...

I am wondering what would be best for my 180 gallon bowfront. It is drilled for a single corner overflow but I wanted to either add a second overflow in the other corner or fill the holes (they are drilled at the back) and redrill for a ghost overflow. What would be best? Has anyone filled...

I have just setup a red sea desktop peninsula however it appears that the overflow drain is not working correctly. It seems to be... Well... Overflowing. It is meant to drain into a little hole in the far right of the plastic overflow grating peice but just fills up too fast and overflows into...

Hey folks, Need some input! Got some floating / suspended particles floating around the tank that just don't seem to get filtered out of my 75g saltwater tank - see attached pics. The particles don't look like food, but rather small bits of dead algae / dust (recently went on a big algae...

Probably a common question. Running a 75 gallon display with a 29 gallon sump under it. Deciding between 1 or 2 returns, but I think I'd like just 1 return pump to save space in the sump. The overflow is the Eshopps Medium rated at 800 gph. I figure this is the biggest determinant of what size...

I upgraded to the Fusion Pro 2 AIO 50 Lagoon last year for my mixed reef. Sorry for the long post/rant but I need help! Main question at bottom. I was running my old nano skimmer (unsure of the model, I originally bought it in 2015) in it even though it was way too small for the tank, it was...

I've decided to add a smaller nano tank about 25G to the sump of my 90G. I'd like both tanks to be filtered by the same filter roller - hopefully a single one. Can I use a tee fitting to plumb the main herbie drains from both tanks into the same filter roller (Clarisea)? Or is it gonna make my...

Hello, I recently got a deal on a aquatlantis aquaview 130. This is going to be an upgrade from my 72 gallon bowlfront in my basement, it’s going into the living room so it needs to be silent. Here are some of my concerns with the tank: The return pump plumbing looks to be 1/4 inch, kinda...

Hi All, New to saltwater but have several fresh tanks at the moment. I have a 250 Litre tank and will run this with a sump (socks, pro skimmer, media, return (size TBC)) and have a question regarding whether to have OR not have an overflow box. The tank would need to be drilled either way, and...

Hi all, I recently bought a 2nd hand Aqua One 120Liter tank with a sump. It's my first sumped tank. It came with a Durso standpipe. Having done some reading, I've decided I want it quiet and drilled a 3rd hole in the weir. Everything seems to function well, however I am not getting air expelled...

I think I may have devised a clever overflow solution for predrilled tanks. I’d like to know if other people believe it to be capable of working. I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a larger tank. I’m new to the hobby, I’ve currently got a 20G nano, and I’m working with a fairly...

I've gotten my tank drilled and overflow installed and I just finished up plumbing the overflow to the sump and I'm looking for some advice or comments on my plumbing (everything is dry fit and has not been glued yet) This is the side profile. Tape is there just to hold it in place. I've got a...

I purchased this Synergy 16" Shadow overflow for my new build and have ended up not needing it. It has not been removed from the box from Synergy. Asking $175 including shipping. I can take PayPal or Venmo.

Hello reefers, Today I’m setting up to place some Xenia on the back wall and I wanted to show my way of doing it. 1.) cut a small piece of plexiglass. Can be transparent or the color of your background. Then drill the hole in the middle . ( I didn’t have drill bit large enough so I made a...

Hi! I’m just going to be straight forward. My son is 15 and has a 90 gallon tank. He is only running a canister filter for now but has been waiting for some stuff that came from his uncle to set up a sump. He is building his own sump right now and doesn’t even know where to start since his uncle...

So this is my first aquarium utilizing a sump. Past 8 years I’ve only had HOB aquariums. My tank is a Planet Aquarium Mega Matrix 310 gallon with center overflow with (2) 1-1/2” drains and (2) 3/4” returns. My sump is an IceCap 48XL. I’m running a pair of Maxspect MJ-DC12K return pumps which...

I have 2 holes coming from the weir to the outside overflow box. There are also 2 holes on the bottom of the outside box to drain water to the sump. One of these holes will be for the backup, emergency standpipe. The other hole will be the primary drain. For the primary drain I was thinking of...

Has anyone managed to find the overflow / forward length sweet spot with a Red Sea ReefMat 1200? Been running for approx. four weeks on my Red Sea Peninsula 650 and finding it impossible to tune my overflow so that it isn't either using the emergency drain or the dreaded constant overflow...

I see a lot of waste on the bottom of my overflow. It is 29 inch down. How often and how do you clean it? Should there are a lot of copopods in there
