5 gallon sump

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
can someone please help i wanna start getting parts but i dont know what to get
 
well i got the parts, the overflow is built and drying. made a tray for the media. all i need to do now is finish connecting the overflow to the bucket, make a drip plate and then make the return back to the tank (i got the tubing i just need to get like a tubing thing to go in the tank). oh and buy some media...i need to find some scrubbies, the only place i found that sells them is walmart and they are $2 for 3...rip off. also i ended up going with the quite one 1200, and 1" pvc overflow
