So after a while of lurking on MFK its time for me to get moving on my first big tank. I will be ordering a 84x30x30 from Midwest Customs with external overflows. My goal for this tank was to have a clean look inside and out and thats why I chose to go with the extenral overflows so there would be nothing to hinder my view.
I would like to thank J jaws7777 for helping me along the way and getting me the necessary info I have needed to get me to this point. I will be copying his build with some minor changes so if you havent seen it yet go check it out! https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/300-gallon-setup-sump-build.679885/
Will be using 1.5" siphons and 2" drains with a 1" return. Plan on also having a hole drilled on the back panel to hook up for easy water changes so I can just hook a hose up.
As for the sump I will be copying the setup Frank has with the two sipons connecting into a single gate. Some modifications I would like to explore would be to replace some of the pvc with plastic tubing. I will be moving again in a few years so I am building this tank with that in mind to make it as easy as possible to dissassemble and reassemble.
Also thought about the possibility of addind a uv sterilizer so any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
