Default plumbing a 5.5g to a 2.5g sump

Hello eveyone,
If any one has any ideas or comments please let me know.
I just picked up a 5.5 galon tank that I wanted to add a 2.5 galon, sump to or a fuge. But Iam a little short on ideas and plans, so if any one out there has done any thing like this or knows of someone who has please just put you 2 cents in.

Thanks L

Default sump/fuge

Just 2 ideas or 2 cents worth whichever
The Coral magazine on Nanos (#2?) shows several inventive ways to plumb nanos.
Or there is the Ol' reliable...Aquaclears....I put an AQ500 on the back of my 15 nano and it is now moree stable than my 90, go figure, I only put it on to grow pods

Default

That is what I think most people do, at least from what I have seen.

What I wanted to do originaly was just place the 2.5 at the back of the 5.5 and just run some tubing down to the 2.5 and then pump it back up. But Iam scared of it over flowing and destroying my hard wood floors.
Nothing like 5 galons of water pumped out when your not home to make the wife kill you.

I think I will use a AC HOB filter, Iam going to go shopping latter this after noon.


Thanks L
