Well, I got my bigger over flow boxfor my 150G. I found out that the sump I had built wasn't gonna be big enough though. So, I bought one rated bigger than my tank. It's all up and running now. :woot: I was wondering if someone could tell me what kind of plants(Low Light) I could put in it to help out with nitrates and such. I'm also gonna use the sump to breed snails and such for my Irwinii cat. I also plan on installing the Dripper/Over-flow system in the near future. Now for the Wet/Dry that I built.... I plan to put it on my 40G. Will I be able to use my AC 802 powerhead for the return pump? Don't know if it's gonna be enough though. :confused:

i would get a plant that grows fast

plants that grow fast are nitrogen VACCUMS!!!! :headbang2
 
Any specifics on what kind of plants? Remember.. low-medium light please.
 
I second the Anacharis suggestion.

And I used an AC802 on a 40g with a diy wet/dry and 300gph CPR overflow box. It worked great.

Oh yeah, I used silicone to plug the venturi hole on the powerhead, otherwise most of your flow will go that way.
