danlim Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi, currently having a 3 ft tank with canister. If I want to add sump tank to the cabinet, I need to drill hole from bottom? Any specialist who do this job and how much will it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes some bros mentioned some shop that will do the job, but they will not guarantee "no-crack" la. But these guys are pro, they don't do home service. How big is your tank?

jervismun Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I am exploring the idea of getting sump tank too, for the following reasons: 1. Better manage my equipments, currenly my Nano Cube is quite packed with equipments, the vibration from the pumps must be really annoying to the fishes. 2. Need a refugerium too with lot's of Chaeto and deep sand bed. 3. Need an area for quarantine. 4. Add more volume to the overall system, 24 gallon is a bit low, fluctuates very easily. Do check out my link below for updates and progress of my tank. Cheers.

SRC Member Cardinal Tetra Posted March 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 13, 2006 Use a DIY overflow system (box or pipe) if you do not want to drill a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
