    Do you think these items can be found on McMaster? I like to price out and get a list going... I get so lost in the big box stores! hahaha

    Thanks!

    N00ZE, very nice setup!! I envy your build. Any chance you can briefly explain your plumbing to and from your sump, and also explain your sump. I am very new to the hobby and getting ready to start my own 40 breeder build.

    Read this article:
    BeanAnimal's Bar and Grill - Silent and Fail-Safe Overflow System

    My sump is like this
    -Return lines run to skimmer section which then overflows through the baffles into my fuge which then moves on to the return section. My emergency line runs to my return section if the 1st and Secondary lines plug up with something.

    [Skimmer section / Filter socks)(Fuge / Pod Nursery)(Return and ATO]
