DIY sumps

[Dr Joe]

heres one diy web page and theres a few more really good ones out there,but thier all pretty much the same.good luck.oh yeah ,ask the guys at the local pet store,if they have a good aquarium section that is,i.e. I dont mean petsmart or pet supplies plus or pet barn or any other big chain store with sick and dying fish in thier tanks.

Not exactly. You can flow as much as your overflows can handle, or 1gph if you wanted. They will only flow what the pump can return. You start having problems when the pump overpowers the overflow.

I always make sure my overflows can flow more than my pump.
