Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am 8 months into this hobby and I have decided to upgrade my setup. I have already purchased an 40 gallon tanks and plan to convert my current 25 gallon into a sump. Please take a look at my sump design and tell me what you think. This will be my very first sump setup so please throw any advice my way.
I will not be drilling the tank. An overflow will be used. One thing I am still unclear about is what overflow to purchase. It seems that most online retailers sell CPR Overflows. I expect the MAG 7 to output approx. 450 gph at 4.5 feet so I need an overflow capable of handling this flow rate. Are there any recommendations/links for overflows other than CPR and what gph output would you all recommend.
I also plan to use acrylic for the baffles. Is there a special adhesive (silicon?) for acrylic to glass bonds?
TIA!
