Sump tank build

[Reeffirefighter13]

I took everyone's advice and went to all my local fish store and no one drills tanks because of the risk of breaking. I also went to a local glass place and they said they don't drill tanks so I went back to the sump idea and I have pics of the progress. I have had it running in the garage for 6 days now and haven't had one problem so far. The filer chamber still isn't done and I am wait on some parts for the used sump I got from a friend but other than that it seem to work good. So once my over flow I ordered arrives I will move it under my tank into its new home.

It looks good. I'm glad that overflow works for you. Have you tried cutting the power to see how it restarts?

If I were you I would just order a holesaw bit from glasshouse.com very inexpensive and safer then the u tube system u did.
Drilling is not hard , as long as you keep the bit wet and let the bit do the work without adding alot of pressure it's a breeze

I have cut the power to each one at a time, and all together and both tanks equal out and then once plugged back in goes back working fine. The whole set up only has to last me a year or so till I get a new place and move everything over to a 90 gallon tank.
