Really hoping that the cementing doesn't change the measurements too much!
I was going to do it today but decided to take a quick break to make sure its how I really want it.
I added a valve in the event I need to tweak the overflow flow rate because I'll have a few manifolds at the return.

I find that if I rush through, I always regret something. Low and slow seems to always pan out better!

This will be my "dream" tank within my budget lol so I am trying to go slow as possible.
the winter weather and new born baby are keeping my patience at bay LOL!
No one talks about the things you buy, realize its wrong and have a hard time selling off lol.

with that being said, I have an Eshopps overflow L if anyone wants to buy it a bit cheaper than online.

Luckily, I took my time, and though I have many regrets, not a lot of extra parts haha. I do have a return pump that's basically brand new sitting in a box but maybe someday I'll use it. Would be nice as my current pumps a monster and I don't care for the external pump, if the seal fails I'm boned situation. Now you have an overflow and an excuse for another tank :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
