Not when the 75 was free! :wink: Plenty of room to do this in a 1400 square foot, finished basement. :D

The tanks will be side by side. The whole reason I am doing this is to knock those nitrates down for the count!!! :D

I am getting ready to build a stand for a 75 that will be used as a "planted sump" for my 125. I will have the 125 overflow into the 75, and then use a couple canisters to draw back into the 125. My question is how should I line up the water levels in both tanks? Should they be exactly lined...
