Ciao a tutti... sono nuovo qui. Sono solo un principiante. 2 anni fa ho iniziato con una vasca da 15 galloni e poi sono passato a una da 40 galloni e ora abbiamo una nuova vasca marino da 125 galloni. È stato impegnativo ma mi piace l'hobby. Sto ancora imparando.

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.

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.

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! Bigger is easier ☺️ also a beginner and learning as I go!
