    Ya that's another thing to worry about. So how do you plan to prevent scratches?

    I'll need to do more scrubbing to prevent algae from build up

    I always have this phobia about acrylic giving way. So I must commend you for a brave move to use acrylic.

    Piping has completed with the part connecting to my return pump.

    Migration would be whole day require with the reusing the return pump, reconnecting the drop in coil into the new sump tank... not forgetting the transferring of the existing livestock and corals.

    Here are the FTS of the tank.

    Any suggestion on the rock scape for this configuration?

    After leak test done on the sump tank....

    Here are the end result with the sump tank, etc.....

    The skimmer will be there while the drop-in coil will be behind the skimmer.

    Original plumbing was the 'traditional' overflow with one drain & 1 return. These type of plumbing is known to be noisy. Hence it was converted into a Herbie overflow instead.

    Noticed that the original fittings used had a potential issue.

     

    Only 1-2 threads were engaged when this was fit through the bottom of the tank. High risk of loosening -> risks of leaks.

    This was a 3/4" pipe and I could not find fittings with longer threads. Got a external threaded pipe & made a bulkhead with longer threads.

    Cut out a gasket from a sheet of EPDM rubber. To be used between the bulkhead & glass (instead of using silicon sealant)

    Hi bro.

    I have the longer version which is 1" type.

    You can get it from malaysia or a HW shop at AMK industrial park.
