Hi members.
OK so I have now decided to build my own tank. The dimensions for the tank are as follows are as follows
Front and back 1.4L x 600H
Side (outside dimensions) 600x600
Glass thickness 10mm ( got a good price on all the glass)
Sump dimensions are as follows
Front and back 1.2L x 450 H
Sides 450x 450 ( this is an existing tank I'm converting, 7mm glass)
My questions are as follows, I'm considering 2types of over flows
Corner over flow built in or coast to coast along the intire back of the tank ( bulk head type) built in. What would the experts out there recommend?
The second question is what size holes would I require? ( would like them to be predrilled) and how many?
Last question for now is can I have my return water plumbed into to over flow but exiting obviously outside the overflow, I'd like to try this to keep all the plumbing hidden in the over flow box.
Ohh and my sump tank...will the above size be ample for the tank?
