Thanks I'm going to try this and see how it works. Thanks for the tips.

Guess I shoulda read further down.......1" is what they are using:D. Anyone know about what type of pump I should use, would a pond pump work?

I've got an established 55g tank with no sump. am running 2 filters and wouldn't mind getting rid of them in place of a sump. Is there a way i can do so without spending a whole lot of money on overflow box and without drilling. I tried to do one before and used my skimmer as a return pump and I started a siphon as the suction, but was worried about one failing and causing a big mess, and my skimmer was not actually skimming anymore. Any ideas?

easy to make, works very well

I heard 55 gal. tanks were normally made with temered glass. If that is so any drilling will cause the glass to explode. Find out for sure if it tempered or not.

Hi everyone,

This is going to be my second sw tank, and my first with a sump. I have no experience with sumps so I need help.

I'm starting a 55 gallon tank. I need to know what size of holes to drill in my tank, size of sump, what size of piping, pump size.

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks, bignose.

Anyone know of a place that sell standard halogen bulbs(double ended) in 10k or higher rating?

It looks like my clowns are eating the bulbs of my green carpet anemone, is this normal?
