About to start building my sump and do the plumbing myself. First time Ive done this so lets hope it goes right. I have a budget of $300 (I hope) to this this all up.
Here is the sump $10 off ebay.

Adding a skimmer: Marine sources RDC250 $115
Using an old cube tank I already had as the DT. Getting it drilled soon $40
So far so good.

135 left in the budget.

Still need to buy the cut glass for 2 baffles, bulkheads and plumbing.
Im having 35mm holes drilled so using a 3/4 inch bulkhead, ist the pvc also 3/4 inch?

That's exactly what it is.. a BUDGET.
Like a government contract, it will bear no relation to the actual fished COST.
Enjoy the build!
