overflow, sump and lighting
Hi guys!
I am just getting started on a 20g long tank build after being out of the hobby for several years. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on the best overflow box, sump and lighting for my tank. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

That seems like a pretty small tank to be sumping... personal choice though.

If you've got the space a standard 10 gallon tank would be perfect for a sump IMO. Maybe an Eshopps overflow (PF-300) and a couple Kessil A80 Tuna Blue fixtures?

These things have gotten some good reviews lately. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pcatid=21416 Last edited by AlSimmons; 04/18/2017 at 10:29 AM. |

I have done it though. I drilled two holes (one on each side) to make a fuge an ran water through. If the 20 gal is a Dt, I would consider this: http://www.seachem.com/tidal-filters.php |

just do a Aquaclear 110 as a "hang-on-back" solution.
