Glued the all-in-one insert in, Next is to paint the back or glue on the black ABS sheets I have on hand

So after a test run I may have to buy a smaller circulation pump,

I need to figure out the auto top off , the pump chamber has to much flow

maybe build a  baffle  to  smooth  the turbulence  to put the sensor in  or turn the circulation pump off every hour

and turn on the auto top off pump on.

 

What did you use to glue on the insert? Just silicone?

[KnH]

Picogoby I used the Silicone for acrylic and just added it on the bottom of the insert. 

The size of the insert interacts with the silicone joints of the tank, so there is a small gap between the insert and glass

Thank you! I assume the acrylic is fastened to the other acrylic with a product like Weld-On?

I’m using this overflow box, its bigger than I would like, but  it works
