10gl sump pics?
Hey all,
Im looking into using one of those $10 10gl Wal-mart tanks for a sump for a potential 20gl project. Seems like theres very little room to do anything with it. Just wonder if anyone has a pic of one.

y'know, i have a 20H right now since it's my first and i was looking into the same project! since my 20 is so small it would be nice to hide all of the equipment and have a little more room in my display tank!

This thread might be better served in the nano section. If we get no bites and no Mod moves it Ill start another one.

Here's my old fuge/sump set-up using 10 gallon tanks. Don't pay attention to my wire mess.

Wow, thanks guys, this really helps.
I guess you can fit alot in one. Im thinking about starting a 20g nano thread once i get everything ready. Waiting on some of those chinese daimond hole drillng bits to come in. Then the fun can begin. I'm real green to the sump/overflow thing. Ive been doing alot of reading but any "gotcha" you might know about would be apprecaited. -A
