Hoi iedereen... Ik ben hier nieuw. Ik ben nog maar een beginner. 2 jaar geleden ben ik begonnen met een 15 gallon en daarna overgestapt naar een 40 gallon en nu hebben we een nieuwe 125 gallon zoutwateraquarium. Het was uitdagend, maar ik vind de hobby wel leuk. Ik ben nog steeds aan het leren.
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.
