    So many questions!????

    Nice! Ok now I'm feeling much better about the drain size! I'm still hunting for a local place for pvc. I might go back to home depot and ask again. The guy I spoke to said he wasn't the plumbing guy. Does anyone happen to have pictures of there plumbing? Place to get cheap sand in canada?

    So many questions!????

    Thanks I thought I had read everything on that site! I don't know how I missed that. Regarding the pvc at home depot....they did in fact have some but it was all like 3 and 4 inch elbows and T fittings...much too big for my application. I might try to find a local guy if someone doesn't have...

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    Thanks guys for all the info!! Its amazing how fast you can go from afraid to even look at tank to finding yourself at home depot buying fittings! I feel so much more comfortable with everything now. Now I just have to find a cheap place to buy live rock in the GTA that stuff is BIG bucks...

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    You guys are the best I swear!! So now what about plumbing? for a basic set up what would I need....Is it just a straight tube that runs into the sump? or is there some type of check or shut off valve inbetween? Return pump size? type of nozzle ? I don't even know what I am asking anymore...

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    Thanks lizard! The thought of a flood has been pecking away at me too so I hear what you are saying. I guess only time will tell. Does anyone else have any experiences with either of these methods?

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    Thanks guys! yeah I thought 150 was a bit much too....I'm leaning towards the external overflows I think it might be a little easier to not have to take the tank over to the lfs. For a sump I was thinking of grabbing a 30 gallon glass tank and making my own...I saw a really cool link...

    To drill or not to drill, that is the question

    I'm trying to decide if I should drill my tank or purchase and external overflow. I was hoping you guys could give me some advice on which I should go for. I can pick up the external units pretty cheap on ebay or my lfs can drill the tank, put in an overflow and bulkhead for 150.00. Is that...

    can you solve my skimmer dilema?

    well to be honest I'm trying to create a plan as I post.....I figure the skimmers is one of the most important parts so I would start there. The sump part I would really like to do, but its a little intimidating to someone that is brand new to this. The drilling and plumbing seems fairly...
