Calfo overflow on 20 gallon?
Ok so im building a 20 gallon sw tank and at this point Im about to buy what I need but am debating between going with or without a sump. If I go with a sump Im thinking about using a calfo coast to coast overflow system. Mainly to ad more water to my system and to hid all the equipment. I was just wondering what your thoughts are? Anyone with this type of system, pics would be great!

We did this with good results in a 29g. We basically built a false back wall, similar to a nano cube. We put a couple of Maxi-jet powerheads in the back with the flow poking through a hole in the back wall. You will need to brace the back wall, we made ours out of acrylic, again similar to a nano cube.
After all is done, you may be better off with an Oceanic bio cube. You can dremmel down a larger overflow in the back and have everything else already done.
