    finished running the electric, the nano has its own 20a breaker. ran a 1/4" water line for the ro/di ato, also fished a 3/8" line to the attic to feed the skimmer fresh outside air. and thats not the original overflow, the first thing i did was rip the insides out of this tank, i made it, they are 1/4" slots 1" long. also drilled 4 holes on the back glass of the nano, 1-1" drain, and 3-3/4" for close loop and main feed. systems gonna have 2 panworld 30px pumps, one pump for the main feed with 1/10hp chiller the other pump for the closed loop. 520 gph tank turnover for 26x/hr, 260 system turnover for 13x/hr.

    wow, I hate the overflow on my cadlights and considered ripping it out, but I've got a tank full of critters and can't do it right now, but man nice work. And nice buck on your avatar, better than nice, damn slammer. Wish they grew like that around here.

    chum:

    the first thing i did was gut the cad and make my own overflow and drilled holes in the back for the close loop, drain and returns. this added more floor space and alot of opportunities.

    where you from?

    I'm in NJ. I'll post pics of my cadlights later if I have time. You might actually motivate me to rebuild the integrated sump with this thread.
