Not a problem. I'll see if I can get a decent camera. I need to go to lowes so i can build myself a moonlight. I'll just put one (overflow) together there in the store and take some pictures of it.
As for surface skimming, they do a really good job. I did a test and a single one of these will allow for sufficient drainage without overflowing my tank. You know how those snails get. John

I'd go for two just for the aformentioned reason. If one gets clogged your pumps will drain your sump into the tank causing it to overflow and burn up the pumps. It's just another safety factor. I'm going to lowes tomorrow morning, so I should be able to get some pictures of the overflow assembly. Man is it hard to type in the dark. (watching tank in dark)

Sounds good thanks. I'm also looking into doing this setup. The only thing I would do different is I would have black plexi on the inside of the weirs. Both sides of the tank will be black should blend in nice.

pretty much the same principle as the other drain, just more expensive due to acrylic costs. I think the pvc drans cost about ten bucks each. I'll get a better number tomorrow. JOhn

the one pictured is 3 to 1.5. You can get 4 to 2 also. I'd say go to lowes and build one to get a better idea. I've been known to build whole assemblies (cut pipes included) while in the plumbing section. the guys there know me by name.

they don't mind one bit. I use the pipe cutter provided and keep track of how many 6 ft sections I've used. I've done this a few times at both lowes and home depot. plus, you work a little faster and there is no chance of stopping to drink beer. You do get some funny looks from women, but most guys in the plumbing section understand completely. How many times have most of us gone to the store three times in the same day?
