Hi folks,
A while back I got back in the hobby, 18months or so. Purchased a 40gallon AIO by Colbalt aquatics because I live in a townhome (structural issues). DIY tall stand, etc. Long story short I quickly outgrew the tank but the larger size not possible so I decided to cut out the back and add external overflow and do a overhaul of the system. Equipment for this build will be used for the custom 145 in the new house.
