Stage 3 : Weir/overflow & Sump
Things are moving along now and i need to plan the overflow/sump.
I think of narrowed the overflow down to an oceanlife overflow system, My thoughts are that its very low profile and doesn't take up space in the display. It only requires two holes and should do what i need it to

Now the dilemma i have is making a small enough sump for the stand. the stands split down the middle in half, i could modify the stand and fit a bigger sump but i dont realy think i need to, that way i can keep the righthand side shelved with room for an auto doser and auto topup container later down the track.
Also want to incorporate a simple filter sock setup thats easier to change out and replace. saw a friend of mines tank recently and he had the water overflow into the socks rather then placing them under the drain pipe. pics to come!
