I'm planning on to get another 210g or 300g and I want to build my own stand to be 3' tall because I notice some stands on the market are not that tall I want it to be at a average height so I do not have to bend down. The tank and the stand should sit around 5-6' tall will that be ok or is it too high? The sump will sit 4" above the ground and I'll make my own sump with a 55g will it possible? Or I have to go bigger right now I'm not sure if I get a 210 or 300 yet will a 55g sump work on both? As a pump go I have an extra quiet one 2200 laying around unuse and I looked online it said max flow at 5'=410 and 6'=361 so at average of 390. As a over flow go I'm making that myself too out of pvc pipe, I'm using a 1.5" for overflow but first I'm using one overflow to see how it works and if theirs 1-2" of water above the holes I'll use another 2" pvc and I'll use 2 overflow just in case. I have the link of the diy over flow on the bottom. Any suggestion from mfk would be great.
