So I'm building a sump and obsessing about flood protection. I'm using HOB Weir style overflows and will test water levels and such. I'm also considering using the TOM's dosing pump to ensure restart...

I definitely agree it's overkill. I guess I made it that way because the 55 for sure will not sit on the corners, so I wanted as many vertical supports as possible.

Thanks for the tips and links, I'll be checking them out and seeing if I can make some mods. Honestly, I did certain things to aid in construction as I'm not the most competent carpenter.

So I've decided to run a continuous system on my new 55, my 40b and probably a 40b sump (just haven't bout it yet). I've been reading DIY stand plans all over to get an idea of what I might need to...

That's great stuff, I'd actually seen that thread a while ago and thought it was really interesting.

Just a thought here, when I eventually get a sump running underneath the tank, would it be better to run overflows directly to the sump from both tanks or keep the continuous flow and run to the sump...

Thanks! I've heard about that and I've been keeping an eye on her. So far it's not been a problem and she's surprisingly nimble when navigating. I'll keep watch though and see if it becomes an issue.

2. If it were up to me, I'd buy tanks,...
