    Sorry, no pump yet. I'll ask father today if we can get it. :)

    My Glass Holes Super Nano overflow s rated at 300-600gph. The MD7 return pump will be perfect, pumping up 450gph, at 3' head.

    Just got back from getting the glass for the sump. I guess the next step would be to wait until I drill the tank, to build the sump. Actually building the sump shouldn't take long at all.

    Don't forget to wait a day and a half or two days for the silicone to dry. If you are using silicone...

    Thanks for asking. I was at spot where I couldn't do anything with the sump as I was using it as a temporary tank for my 1 fish. But the fish died sometime yesterday morning/Wednesday night, due to stress. For the DT, I can't add anything a this current moment as we might have found a nicer house for rent The tank is in the perfect situation to move...Empty. haha.

    The sump could be built if I didn't have any hermit crabs left, which I do. What should I do with them for now? They are what's stopping the sump from being built. :-/

    Thanks.

    I think I will just keep that 10g I have & get a new 10g tank for like $13 at walmart. haha I'll add in the crabs when i am ready & I can still build the sump in the mean-time.
