DIY Sump/refugium

[torontoleafs_ro]

Hey Niko The design below is what I was thinking of for my tank I was thinking that I would drill holes in the back for water return but I was wondering what you think and also if you could help with plumbing from overflow to sump and back to tank. and also maybe help with a custom sump design that u would recommend for this tank

You are planning to use cell cast acrylic and not plexiglass...right??

If you're building it yourself why not bump out the middle back to give a deeper tank?

that isn't part of the tank it's just the overflow but i guess i could also put in in the middle instead of the sides
