Anyone wanna make me a sump

hey everyone i am new to this site a year into my aquarium i have a 20g long i would like to add a small sump setup to it prolly a 5 or 10G i know some say i dont need it its just somthing i would like and wondering if anyone is willing to construst a small sump for me considering i have a smaller tank i would like to relocte my skimmer my filter and heater i am handy it just seems difficult working with the material and if anyone would like to construct the overflow that would be awsome just shoot me a price and we will go from there i am capable of the plumbing and getting a pump and setup just need help with the sump tank and overflow thanks everyone.

 

If you are good at plumbing you could save a lot of money by just buying a 10 gallon tank and alter it how ever you want. It is easy and there are several post in the DIY forum to help you.

 

If its just a sump, and not a fuge, it wouldn't require any modification. Just buy the overflow kit for the tank, and plumb everything in.

 

I said modification in the event he wanted to make a chamber or something simple like that.

 

No, I know, I am just wondering exactly what the OP is trying for, whther he means just sump, or a sump/fuge? Just confused because he only said sump, but said he can plumb. There is really nothing more to do then just plumb with just a sump. Unless he wants it drilled? Heck any glass shop can do that.

 

Dido!

 

im looking to do a sump/fuge sorry i didnt add that in i could divide a 10g tank without a problem i guess. i see them guys making those cool over flows outta acrylic? i think how do u heat that material to form it, is my question i guess

 

aftetr looking around it does seem fairly easy to make i wiwll give it a go and post what i come up with any tips would be great thanks guys

 

If you're talking about making a siphon overflow box (like they have out here Lifereef Filter Systems) I would be very very careful, they are very tricky/precise things and can have disasterous results if the siphon breaks or doesn't come back after a power outage, or if the overflow siphon gets little bubbles in it gradually and breaks the siphon eventually, etc.

If you're talking about making a sump with refugium that's a whole other story, they are pretty basic and there's tons of information out there.

 

ok i just built this guy overflow box i think it is way to big for my tank now that i see what i got http://www.podzilla.us/aquascapeDS/o.../overflow.html what do you guys think will it still work?
