Hi tzenda and :welcome:

I am not quite sure how that fuge is going to work.

How does the tank water pass through it? Where does in go in and out?

Did you use silicone to glue acrylic pieces together?

[tzenda]

there that should be better

 

[tzenda]

there will be a pice of pvc pipe, piped down towards the bottom of the short inner wall segment, left

it leaves through the hole in the upper right and falls down the slide into the tank

it is glued together using weld-on #16 acrylic cement
(the stuff the pros use) very strong stuff

 

[tzenda]

oh yea the demensions are
13" tall
15" wide
5" thick

it has a volume of around 3.7 gal

Is there going to be a pump on there, like a HOB filter? Cause you can't siphon power that.

Maybe you want to make the hole on the upper right bigger. I am afraid there is going to be a chance for flooding. If while you are away, and a larger piece of macro algae detached and ends up at that little hole..........

Looks good.

My "gut feel" is it is a little small for a 75g, but then anything is better than nothing.

Hope it works well for ya.

Don't mean to threadjack. Hey beaslbob, are there any good salt stores in Huntsville or Decatur?

BTW, nice Hangon sump!
