Overflow and Sump Plumbing

[blake231]

I just got a 90 Gallon tank with a built in over flow and I'll be getting a sump soon! I've started to read up on how to plumb it all. Does anyone have some good blogs/articles/vidoes I can read/watch on how to set it all up. I have a good idea of what to do, but I would like to find a setup that would be as quite as possible, also safe :)

Thanks :)

Yes I have one idea for quieting it down some if not completely. It's called Maggie Muffler for your overflow standpipes. You can find them on ebay or build them yourself. There are several DIY threads on them. Seearch stockman standpipe. There's a great version on You Tube. The guy says "not in my house" which is the correct one. Lol

Awesome, Thanks :) I assume this will work all the same in a built in overflow or a hang on back overflow, right?

Yes in most cases :) if you don't have a standpipe you can get the pvc pipe from a home or plumbing supply store.
