Filtration for 250

[Coryd55]

The tank is 6x3x2 and is drilled. It has 2 holes drilled in the bottom near the center.

How should I set it up?

I would make a DIY 55 or 75 gallon sump and have one drain line and one retrun line. You could also look into doing a diy rubbermade type sump.

Do you have a link to a DIY sump? I have a 55 that I wont be using...

Here is a link to mine. I went with a 75 but you can still get some ideas from it. Also I went with an external pump but it isn't necessary. You can just use a submersible pump in the final chamber.

Cool thanks.

Let you know if I use it.

Id go straight for a 55+ sump. There are tons of plans in the DIY section. Best of luck man looks like a fun project with a lot of potential.

Definitely a 55+ sump.
