Default sump

Hi there pple,

Was wondering if any of u has any ideas on using a sump with a main tank with no pre-drilled holes to connect to the sump.

i was thinking of using a pump to pump water up to the main tank from the sump and use a siphon back to the sump.. but kinda risky i guess if the siphon flow rate is higher or slower. can cause a heck of a mess.

There's a product called I-box which is for tanks without pre-drilled holes, go check out the Sponsor's forum in sgreefclub.

The I-box is really wonderful. I am really interested in it. But I wonder if I just purchase the I-Box, without the I-tub, could the I-box be fix with my old tank? Because I have an empty tank below my reef tank, both are 2 feet. Or it really doesn't matter whether what sump box you are using? And where is those 4 shops that sell the I-box ah? Why they just gave us telephone number and no address one.

you may easily from from the hardware shop @ serangoon north corner hardware shop beside the birdshop/pet clinic and customise to yr own need. But i think you may face piping problem and the water flow fluency,upper tier would be much ideal.

Any one of the 4 shops locate near the west area of S'pore? Siglap road is far man, marine parade there, if I got problem with the installation, it would be difficult for me to ask. Or maybe central area or north area also can. Or maybe got any near MRT stations? Hehe.

Hmm, that sounds good, and I just got the location of the place and is quite accessible. BTW, how much approximately does the I-box + pipes + a powerhead to pump water up cost ah?
