I've had my 75 gallon hi-tech fresh water tank up and running for about four years now. I'm not an experienced aquarist but i'm starting to get some experience under my belt.
I bought the tank used. It came pre-drilled with an overflow box. Obviously, this was made for a sump, but being new to the hobby, I ignored it. I put a HOB and canister on it that have been working since. For some reason the sump bug bit me today and I'm thinking about building one. I'm just not sure where to start or if it is even worth it.
If y'all could point me in the right direction I'd be super grateful. I've been having issues finding something comprehensive. For instance, the holes are just bare glass, how do I plug them around the PVC so that water doesn't leak. I'm having trouble finding answers to these basic questions.
