    I'm going to install some comp. fans into my canopy to blow the hot air out.

    Thanks! So I got the 15g sump in the stand, just filled it up and became concerned, when I had the 20g sump under the 40b the available capacity in the 20g would handle all the back flow in a power outage or mechanical failure until the back flow was broken. This 15g has perhaps 3g capacity before it would overflow and I am certain it will not be enough to hold what would back flow out of the 72g before the siphon would be broke.
    Things that make us go hhmmmm!! Time to put on the thinking cap.

    So this is what I got to work with, I don't think it was leaking from the bulkhead, but once it leaks its hard to be sure where its coming from when the water works its way down the entire plumping. Plastic tubing and PVC elbows.
