Ok, I have been looking at all kinds of pictures, and lots of reading over the last few days. I just took down a 55 gallon tank that had some cichlid fry in due to the silicone starting to bubble and fail (tank only being like a year and a half old, but thats another story). I am gonna set this thing back up once i get it resealed and some stand modifications done. i would like to try out a sump for the first time. i figured starting on a small 55 would be best that way the messes are smaller when i make mistakes lol. This tank is gonna be a freshwater nothing special tank. So my questions are, how big do i need to have the sump, this is an undrilled tank so what would be the best way of getting an overflow in there, also what type of pvc and glue is ok for aquarium use. i need some sump layout examples, what kind of pump flow should i be looking for. I am a huge fan of pictures so please post tons of pictures. Id love to see what yall have under your tanks and how it is plumbed. also as a side note, i need this thing to be easy to clean and maintain. The wife is gonna have to be able to take care of this thing when i deploy and she is a beginner when it comes to aquarium knowledge.
