| 10g overflow
Rate my stupidity. I am thinking of ditching the external overflow on my 10g DT. I would replace it with a black acrylic corner over flow. A 1" bulk head in the back glass to existing pluming to sump. I would do this now, but two issues come up;
-$
-Animals
I could avoid a 3 day trip to the sump by buying a new 10g tank ( not that much $ ) and constructing the assembly and pluming. Then swap out the tanks and have the LR and critters in buckets of tank water only for a few min wile I swap tanks. Then glue the two half's of pluming together ( just add a couple of couplings to connect new and old pluming ) and wait two hours wile the PVC glue dries. Then fill it up the rest of the way and turn on the return pump again.
Two questions; abut how big will the corner overflow have to be?
How many complications will this create on the bio side of things? |
