Good morning,
So I've ordered a 125 gallon Aqueon tank whose dimensions are 72" x 18" x 22" high. This is for a new peninsula build. Please be patient as I am trying to paint a picture with words.
This will be my first peninsula build, and I'm wondering...
Typically, any builds I have completed have always been where the tank is set up in a "landscape" orientation with the overflow on one side and the return on the other. More specifically, my flow has always been clockwise, where the overflow is on the right and the return on the left.
Accordingly, my sump is built so that my drain flows into the first chamber on the right side of the sump, travels through the different chambers and finally into the return chamber on the left and back to the tank.
But in a peninsula build, the overflow and returns are on the same side.
My plan is to put to use a 33 Long sump that currently sits on a shelf. Taking into consideration that the sump is set up with a right to left flow, does this mean that I have to have my drain lines run the length of the stand to the first sump section? Or am I going to have to build a new sump with a different layout?
I hope I've made my question clear. If not I'm sorry, so please ask questions for clarification.
Thank you,
Dom
