Thank you so very much, Travis. You are of more help than I can put in words.
I'm already looking at "modifying" the overflow of my future tank (found some great threads). I'm sure I'll be bombarding you (and other victims) with millions of questions when it's time to start setting this baby up.
Since I am planning on building the stand and canopy myself, I'll make sure and leave plenty of room under the tank for the sump. Is it at all possible to use a rubbermaid (or similar) container as a sump? If so, how does one go about fitting and attaching baffles to one?
I do have a 20 gallon tall auqarium, but I'd rather go bigger for a sump because from what I've read, the more water volume I can add the better, right?
Oh, and before I forget, I may have found the tank already.
(I'm doing the happy dance) Step #1 is then accomplished.
Thank you again, Travis - and for the warm welcome, too.
