  1. To Sump or NOT to Sump

    Yep, that's my plan now. I want as little visible as possible. The acrylic overflow would be an eyesore. I heard of diamond drill bits working well, but am not willing to risk. I'll be doing a mod of the Durso design. Drilling on the bottom back wall will accommodate the inside overflow box...
