Wet/Dry Sump Filter Hook Up

[clayt101]

Hi,
I have a 125 gallon aguarium that has been drilled for a large wet/dry filter...the only problem is that I have never hooked up one of these filters and it does not have directions. Anyone have step by step instructions on how to hook this thing up.
Thanks

I just hooked up my first w/d sump on my new 180G. Do you have corner overflows?

Yes, it has the overflow in the corner of the aquarium, and 2 holes drilled in it at the bottom of the overflow box. I understand the general idea that one hole allows water to go down to the filter, while the other hole allows water to get pumped up to the aquarium and back into the aquarium. I also have the pieces that fit in the holes, but I am still nervous about setting it up. I really don't want to discover it's not working by having the aquarium just overflow to the floor.
