Sweet Yeah I'll take you up on that. I have to go buy a bunch of dry rock from Red Coral soon here and i'll start the aquascape. I'm going for three islands for a minimalist type look in the display, so the fish have lots of swimming room. Thats why I decided on the three sump idea, so that I could have tonnes of biological filtration that didn't have to come from rock in the display.

![]() Nice build.
Just wondering, is it ok for metal halides to be that close to the water? |

![]() I have bits for 1", 1.5" and 2" bulkheads. You could go with 1" bulkheads and step it down to 3/4" pipe if you want (I say just go with 1" but that's just me). Anyhow if that works just send me a PM.

![]() It will be raised about 4" off the surface when the canopy is on. It's just sitting there for testing.

![]() So I need some advice on my overflow setup. This thing came stock with 1 X 3/4" bulkhead and 1 X 1" bulkhead in each overflow. So it was a Durso setup and the 3/4" was probably for a return line.
So with the difference in the hole size, should I just go with the Durso setup? I've had them before and just find them a little noisey. However it did come with a brand new set of durso pipes I can use. I would love to do a herbie, but with the different sized holes, It would be sketchy to have a 1" main and a 3/4" emergency...no? I'm also having trouble with the layout of the sumps as well. I was going to stack them one on top of another, but now it's not looking like I will have the room to stack them all. So I think I'm going to have to re-design the whole thing :-(

![]() I don't think that is a problem at all. It depends on how much flow you are going to drop through those drains. Keep in mind that you have 2 primary and 2 emergency drains. Realistically, I doubt you will have a blockage in BOTH primaries at the same time. Also, the primaries don't tend to just stop dead suddenly, they are more likely to just block slightly, transferring only a portion of flow to the emergency drains.
Leave the emergency drains as straight pipes so you'll hear them if they become active. Finally, just test it after. Block a drain and see what happens!
