Well the diagram has the question for the most part. What do you guys think?

hey kris looks good y dont u drill it as low as u can for the overflow and do a custom durso or sumtin like that... other wise it looks good... also for ur return water ur going right ova the top of the tank right...

that part where it says almost filled completely scares me... :theyareon

kris since the 20g is a display fuge....build your stand witha door but make like a window thru the door so your 20g will look like a inwall tank and hide the water level and all...then you can have a seahorse tank or something

Love the sea horse idea. The sump should be nice and low flow and it'll have a nice macro algae display . When I have some extra $$ down the road I'll redo this stand with a nice wood frame.

T, I think I will drill the hole lower and do the custom durso. I was gonna get a few pieces of glass and make a small overflow.

kool dude. the glass will be covered in coralline anyways... or what u actually can do if cutting out teeth for the overflow box will be tuff unless u have a glass place do it u can use weldon on pieces of acrylic glue all 3 together then silicone the crap out of it and attach it to the glass.. that will def. work... either way it will be covered with coralline algae... u no the deal...

come on chris, hop in your car, drive over here, we'll set it up in my backyard and figure out exactly what you need. We'll even drill it. I'm sure spykes would come by too.

I'm gonna do this one hopefully to the best of my ability(the little I do have).

It came to light cause I hate laying on the floor to look at my nano soooo I needed a tank that could rest on a 75 stand. This one fit perfect and the pricing wasnt to bad either.

Thanks a million Ronen!!! Came by and cut the glass like it was buttah. Now to start the plumbing endeavour.
