1st time diy sump...gonna work?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ah excellent. I didn't see any overflows so I just assumed. I guess I thought it was just an oversized canister filter type beast.
 
just so i know i have the same ones as in the above sump bushfishrox has, those are the ok ones right? Yes

but ditch the flat ones i have on top? Yes

and what about the straws/bio balls? They're fine

i plan on laying the floss filter on top on the drip plate? That's fine, it makes it easier to clean the pre-filter.

btw whatever i do to these two tanks i have ALOT more to make for the rest of the room lol! OK, enough talk ...get moving! :D

just making sure before i cycle
the 18 gallon i have to fill with scrubbies that goes in the 55 is this good enough? or should i just use the 10 gallon bins?
again these are grow out tanks for flowerhorn fry and breeding pairs.
 
My friend made a few for me out of a 30g and a 55g. He used martha stewart bins and they sit perfectly on the rim of the tanks.
