Sump

[Chase31]

well thats what i was kinda thinking, use a screen maybe, we'll have to see if this tank has baffles or not

Dez, talking about me and my DBBBT (dog biscuit bucket bubble trap)?

[Chase31]

just curious how the hell does that work?

so looks like i will be getting a roughly 600gph overflow, so im looking for a pump, preferably the cheaper the better (will be looking on Kijiji) the head pressure is about 5 feet, it shouldnt matter if its under my overflow right? the system should be about 40G with sump and piping and skimmer when all's said and done witch is about a 15x turnover rate per hour, thats pretty good right? should it be higher or lower, dispaly is 31 gal, sump is 10, also getting a 175 GPH aqua clear power head

There's a line of holes drilled in the side, near the bottom, bubbles from the drains go up and don't enter the sump, bubble-free water out the bottom.

that would work but im worried about micro bubbles out of my skimmer
