If you were asking about my system it is around 1600 gallons with the sump tanks. I have a build thread that overviews the progress of the build. I also have a DIY post for how to make the overflows on the tanks in my photos.

Did you use flex tubing and painted them or did you melt and bend the orange PVC?

Furniture grade orange PVC bent with a heat gun and a metal spring.
