DIY 450G Glass Tank
- Thread starter Gar88
- Start date
Tank looks great, can't wait for xmas to be over so I can get the glass and get mine going!! The end compartment in the sump doesn't look big enough to hold the skim when the pump switches off, you sure its not going to overflow?
Cheers y'all....
@David... The space I have given in the end is 12". I have my fingers crossed on the skim. As I see it I have around 60"x24"x6" of space to hold the skim. Which is just about rite if the system is working perfect. We will know more tmrw or daftr
What would be ur suggestion anyways?

Keep your fingers crossed!!
The pump you're running will decide how low you can have the water level in the last compartment, so I guess you'll just have to experiment when its up and running. Make sure the returns don't siphon back any more water than necessary.

Yup yup
it all boils down to that...For the returns it's gonna be a spray bar or something. In any case they would be above water. So siphon back is outta question.
Will keep y'all posted. Can't wait to fill it up and see my polys swimming about.

Got the overflow sleeve fixed and the tank is in its final place. Fixing of the sleeve was quite a task. The fumes from the silicone were just unbearable . The top cover build is in process. Should be getting it finished today.
Ignore the return pipes. Will be trimmed to size.

Yup that's the final size. Had to play with the size. Wanted 10' length but the meter room butted in. Wanted 2.5 height but for that I woulda had to buy a separate sheet of 19mm which woulda left me dry
The sump is 5'x2'x18".

Still a good size! I ended up downsizing my original plans, still waiting to finalise the size with the tank maker depending on the glass he can get. Looking forward to seeing it filled up!
