Ok, so the Army is moving us next summer and I plan on taking that opportunity to upgrade my tank at the new place. My plans are inspired by another tank setup on here. I'm planning on my husband and I to build the new stand and maybe an acrylic tank if I decide not to use mt 36 gallon tank I have now.
Here is my tank as of now:
Here is my 36 gallon I might upgrade:
Here is what I want my new stand to look like:
I like the idea of the visible fuge/quarantine tank. I haven't decided which one it's going to be. Obviously if it's going to be a qt tank, it won't be connected to the main dt, it will be its own tank with a bare bottom and some rock.
QUESTION:
I have no idea how the plumbing works between a dt and a fuge and I am terrified of having water spill out onto my floor. I have tried to read up on it but it just confuses the tar out of me. I may add a sump too. Can somebody please dumb everything down and tell me how all that works and what I will need to have it working successfully? Any helpful advice is welcomed!
