jbb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah I need to see how this was done so I can tinker with my 10 ;)Jk... Did you drill the back?I did not drill the tank at all , everything is HOB . I am moving the tank today to my office, so maybe I can grab a couple of pics for you. I did get some fans for the stand tho, the humidity was causing all kinds of trouble Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Gotcha. That makes sense. Did you make the HOB stuff or purchase it? Link to comment

Here is the type of box : http://premiumaquatics.com/products/cs50-csyphon-overflow-300gph.html?gclid=CJCz_f65-MICFQ_l7Aod1jgA1g And the return is just pvc Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Gotcha. Cool! Glad it worked out for you. I'm sticking with the single AIO tank, lol Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 lol, I don't have room for the sump. Besides, a sump on a 10g isn't really going to help me much I'll keep planning my dream tank set up with a sump and eventually get that going when I can afford it and have the room! Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Heck no, lol. 40B sumped. Link to comment
jbb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Heck no, lol. 40B sumped. If it can't cause a flood that might kill you in your sleep, it's not worth having Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If it can't cause a flood that might kill you in your sleep, it's not worth having True, but if it's too big then it becomes too much work Link to comment
jbb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 True, but if it's too big then it becomes too much work On a serious note . The best performing system I have ever had was my 40b with 20 long sump. Return was a QuietOne 3000 Lighting was 150w Phoenix 14k mh with 2 24" T12 VHO super actinics Mp20 Loved that tank Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If I set up that dream tank, it was going to be a 40B custom tank with nice thick glass and no rim, with a 40B acrylic sump, LED lighting (possibly t5 hybrid), skimmer below, middle of sump a basic macro refugium with fiji mud, all drilled and nice and pretty. I'd go maxspect gyre (if and when they ever make a smaller one) for flow Link to comment

Have Chris make the 40b, that thing would be pure SEX Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah, I'm a loooooooong ways from that. Even if I had the space right now, I'm a postdoc - we don't make sh*t for money Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I did not drill the tank at all , everything is HOB . I am moving the tank today to my office, so maybe I can grab a couple of pics for you. You didn't drill? You spent $200 on an AIO tank only to rip out the false wall and put a siphon overflow on it? Aiyayiyayi. Link to comment
jbb Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I already had the siphon box on hand, I want to drill it, but I'm still deciding on how I want to do it. standard corner box with bottom drill back wall drill with ghost type box x-aqua in/out box or something custom that I have been toying with You didn't drill?
