Does anyone have any pictures, links, or plans on how to setup a large rubbermaid stock tank as a sump.

Thanks in advance
Brian

I hate mine. Someday when I win the lottery I'm going to burn it!! I bought the stock tank because I'm stupid?? & it was really cheap, go figure

. That's JMHO though. My reseason is you simply can't easly baffle the dam thing, so anything in the sump make's it's way to the main display!! Cheato, Fern, Grape culurpra !!! I'm sure there is something that could be done to correct this issue, I just haven't worked on it. I want to get a 120 style tank that I don't have to wrack my brain at, just baffle and go play.

The stock tank is simple to set up, they have 2 holes one on each side that you can use, or you can drill a hole on one of the ends which is the route I went. As you can see from the pic above my post, you then just throw everything into it and booAAA your done.
