(More of todays Tropical DIY here - PVC Overflows)
New marine tank is coming along.
Modified the stand, drilled holes to match tank, removed central support for sump and strengthened.
The first sump I tried was in perspex, using rubber seals so I could move then, failed badly, perspex was too thin, I had to get some glass cut for the weir box anyway, so got some for the sump at the same time.
Next was the weir box, on the side and the top there will be a comb to skim the surface, and at the front there is a hole at the bottom so it takes water from the bottom of the tank aswell. The hole in the right is for the return from the sump.
