Sump for 10 Gallon

Well its not gonna have any corals and id think the CUC could get rid of most detritus

 

Anyway I look Bloodkip's idea, but how exactly does an overflow box work?

 

You could always get a hang-on overflow. No drilling

 

+1..

 

yeah thats what i mean, but do i need pvc pipes and all that stuff? not sure how it works so if someone could tell me how i can start my fuge. got lots of LR to put in there and i can probably put a DSB as well

 

your gonna need pipe no matter what you do, drill or overflow.

 

Basically i need something that connect to the 5 gallon sump. water goes in one way, water comes into the DT the other way, just something thats not too complicated and something that i dont have to drill XD

 

yeah but how do i do that... remember, i know nothing about said equipment

 

Arent you on a budget? your gonna need to get glass sheets for baffles, and a return pump minimal for that to work. im just lookin out, dont take it the wrong way. this could run you close to 75-80 bux when its all said and done ( if you chose the overflow) drilling will save u some cash. thats not including if you plan on running a skimmer in there later, or a gfo carbon reactor later down the road. just sayin. you could do it and it would be a sweet set up.

 

you lost me at budget XD is it really that tough to set this thing up? im thinking i could buy the overflow box that blookdip recommended on the first page, put a glass baffle (guess the sump will be 3 chambers), have the 2nd chamber with some LR, LS, and some chaeto, maybe an invert to keep the sand in that chamber clean, put a baffle, and then the 3rd chamber will have the return pump... but wont i have to drill the tank for that anyway?
