Building an over flow for a 90 gallon reef tank

Njhc · 05/26/2011, 10:33 PM

So I want to build my own sump and overflow this weekend I have my ideas put together but I need help with numbers and DIY ways to do this? First I need an over flow I have some acrylic clear sheets ready to be cut however they are see through? Do they sell spray paint for fish tank materials?

I also am going with two returns one for air the second to skim, with two returns. Can someone please send me a link to detailed instructions on sizes material etc, so I can finally start this project. I greatly appreciate your ideas and help and thank you for your time.

Let me just help you out here; www.melevsreef.com

You should also try the search function on RC. You are not the first person to build an overflow by any means.
