Hola a todos... soy nuevo aquí. Solo soy un principiante. Hace 2 años empecé con un acuario de 15 galones y luego pasé a uno de 40 galones y ahora tenemos un nuevo acuario de agua salada de 125 galones. Ha sido un reto, pero sí me gusta este hobby. Sigo aprendiendo.
Hi everyone... I'm New here. I'm just a beginner. 2 years ago I started with a 15 gallon and then moved into a 40 gallon and now we have a new 125 gallon saltwater tank. It's been challenging but I do like the hobby. Still learning.

Sweet that’s the same tank I have. I bought it initially not realizing I needed an over flow. Ended up drilling a few holes in the back which was quite scary hah.

I was also tempted to drill. But I chicken out and decided to build these syphon gravity pipes out of PVC. They work well. I just have to keep an eye out on my water level because sometimes they break syphon and then I have to reset them. But I don't mind. It won't overflow because it has the proper amount of water not to..🤭 had to test it a couple of times.

Have you tested power outage? If your return pump goes out you’ll want to make sure your siphon doesn’t continue pulling out water to a point your sump overflows

Hi maleficent... Yes. You are correct about the siphon if the power goes out. But they won't overflow the sump. I built mines to only syphon out up to the edge of the top of the tank. It's about 9 gallons. When the power goes out it fills the 40 gallon sump to halfway of the sump. I have 2 separate containers on the bottom of my set up. one is for the skimmer and the other is the 40 gallon sump.

Welcome! Is that a 125g Aqueon tank? Your custom stand and sump are sweet.
Thank you. Yes it's a basic aqueon. I built the stand and plumbing myself.
