Thank all of you for input, I’m going to go ahead and try to drill it, makes more sense to do it right the first time and have a longer lasting setup. Will update and look back for help as the project is going

Hello reef family. I am currently running a 55 gal and I was recently handed and blessed with a 90 gallon tank. Im still new so would like some input as well as feedback and opinions. I’m currently running a hang off the back overflow to my sump with 1”pvc

1 will that work with the 90 gallon?

im going to be building a “shaker style”  stand with built in led lights and on/off switch when doors open and close for it in the next 2 weeks out of walnut.

The sump is a 40 gal tank that I will diy into a sump( I have a picture posted of what I want to do with the sump 

I’ve attached pictures of running tank and plumbing along with new tank, 40 gal sump and stand drawings, the stand will hide all plumbing as well. 

I see a lot of set up where there are 3 inlets into the sump. Will I need that or will I be ok with one as I have it now 

I would have taken them with me earlier, maybe next weekend if their still around

I’ll take the bubble skimmer if your around tomorrow 

I have a Fluval marine and reef 2.0 led 48-60 with WiFi ability and adjustment and timers as well I’m trying to sale, asking 120 obo

i also have a Marineland led, only white and blue LEDs, (box is a little damaged from moisture)nothing special. Asking 50 obo on that one. I live in south Austin. Also willing to accept trades for corals and or fish. Both lights work great

I’d like to get in line, can meet anytime 

10G (Sump with bioballs ), Sump with trays
29G (30x12x19), 29G (30x12x19), Sump with no trays or roller. 

Rena filter

Got them free from here, didn’t end up using all so putting them back here for someone else’s use. Pickup in south Austin or can schedule a pick up in north Austin between hours of 8-2 call or text 5129552777 pick up one or all. Don’t know if Rena works or not as I have not plugged it in

Is it still available, can pick up

Ok perfect thank you 

Ok thank you all for the input and suggestions, I’ll do some more research on what I need to do next to get up and running

Hello everyone sorry if I’m in wrong forum , I’m getting back into salt water but my last 55 gal had a built in box filter and all I used besides that was a protein skimmer, I bought a 55 gal tank with 75 lbs of live rock (dried out) tank is glass and front corners are rounded. I have the rock soaking in salt water @.23. I am wanting to get started on the build of tank to be up and running in about a month or sooner. The tank I have now has no holes drilled. My question here is should I use a filtration system or have tank drilled for sump. If sump can you guys recommend someone who drills and helps sets up the tank and sump.

Welcome Brandon!  What type of setup did you get?

Thank you, I have a 55gal, came with 75lbs live rock, outdated skimmer and halogens lights, would like to upgrade the lights to led and new skimmer

I’ll take what you have available 

Hello my name is Brandon Burrage and I am new to the site. I recently purchased a set up today and probably will a few questions here and there and also would like to buy a few things to get it up and running within the next month.
