Hey guys, as you all know probably and if you don't you will find out now. I have a 40g tank that has been having MANY troubles with it. Went from everything dieing, having to cycle all the time, from filter problems, to making the loudest noises ever.
So I thought to myself today, since everything was dieing again and things are growing that shouldn't. So I said, instead of keep putting money into this wet/dry filter I have and other crap with tank. I'm going to transfer my water from my 40 to my 37 and put everything that is still alive in there.
I'm going to tear it all down. Clean it. Then thinking of getting it drilled to have it be built to have a sump instead. I'm going need help on how many holes I'll need and what equipment. I have filter socks I would like to use for sump.
But after that, replace sand, fix how the rocks use to be to something different. I want this thing to be done good and right.
So I'm just wondering, do you think what I'm doing is stupid? or no?
Also if anyone can help me with telling me how many holes I need. What equipment needed. If I should do a closed loop? If so what the heck is it? lol
Thanks everyone
