The size of the bulkheads are inlet 25mm and outlet 32mm. The tank and the sumpDetails of the Tank 23L*15W*16HSump 19L*11W*12H Tank and the sump,don't mind the silicone,i will tape it.

MeepNand Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Why is this in "Large Reefs"? Ask a mod to move it to "Member's Aquariums". Link to comment
