Sump Build?

[Triggerdood]

I would like to ad a sump/fuge to my 40 gallon. The tank is currently setup and is not drilled. I have a hang on overflow box and a rio 2100 return pump. I am not good at the diy projects. Wondering if anyone near the Carol Stream area would be able to assist me with the build? I will obviously supply everything, just lack the know how. If someone out there can help send me a pm. Thanks.

I will help bud.

The first step is figuring out what you want in the sump. I see you are looking for a new skimmer. Probably a good idea since a sump is a great place to put a skimmer and the HOB model you have isn't a good fit for a sump.

Once you figure that out, figure out how much space you have available, and what other equipment and features you want in the sump... lets build it!

Oh. and you can pay me with beer. Just don't let me work the table saw after I surpass 6.

Thanks.
