Help me build this tank/pond!

I'm not new to fish keeping, but I feel in a bit deep over my head in this DIY stuff. That all sounded like greek to me.

I know what the numbers mean, but I was a bit confused by how they fit into the big picture.

Is 3000g/hr at 235W efficient? 15ft max head is wonderful, but I only need a few feet. What is a 1.50" return? Is that the radius of the PVC pipe leading back to the tank? I will probably build a sump with this tanquarium, but I've never had a tank big enough to need one before, so bear with me.

Yes, anything close to that is great!


15 feet is Max you would have zero flow at that height,
so a three or so feet you'll get closer to the Max rated Gallons per Hour

This is the outside diameter of the PVC pipe from the Pump to the tank

Awesome. Do you know anything about DIY constant water change systems? Been searching the forums and nothing comes up that works with my system.

I'll probably post a thread to ask, but I'd rather post a thread about doing it!

search RO drip systems and see what there is...I'm having to build one myself to offset this 8.0PH from the tap...

Curious to see how you decided to bond the acrylic viewing windows with the liner, as I might be working on a similar project once the weather is more favorable.
