Adding a Second Tank
Hi Guys

On my exsisting tank I have an overflow box that flows down into my sump/skimmer. I was wanting to add plastic tub to store fry or for a timeout area.

I was thinking about making the hole in the side / bottom of the container and then obvisouly running tubing to the sump.

Has anyone done something similar to this?

How did you seal around the hole to prevent leakage?

Did you use a nipple of some kind or did you just use piping?

as long as you use a tub that has a smooth surface you can use bulkheads to get a nice seal. then you can run pipeing from the bulkhead
