I have a 75 gallon aquarium, currently lightly stocked.

I was wondering if anyone did the recirulation mod themselves and how easy it was. That would save me a good amount of money. But I'm nervous to drill into something that I just paid a couple hundred for.

Also I am wondering how to set it up to get the water from my overflow into the skimmer and than flow into the sump (I have a 29 gallon aquarium as a sump). Can you do this without the risk of flooding the house if something fails?

Anyone of pics of their skimmer set up this way?

Also I was wondering how quiet the skimmer is with the stock pump, my tank is in my bedroom and I am having trouble sleeping with my Nautalius and Mag 7 running. I have even added syrofoam to my stand to help muffle the sound.

I saw that they have Eheims for their larger skimmers and wish they had them for the smaller ones. I have an Eheim for my return pump and it is QUIET.

Thanks for any help you can give.
