what to do with overflow?

look in the rubbermaid tub section. my sump is a 30 gal tub. easy to drill
and add bulkheads. has a lid. sturdy. cheap.

I am looking at lots of sump designs,... unfortunately they are all too big
to fit it in my stand. I hate Wal-Mart ))) the stand is from them... it
divided into 2 sections, they are completely separated from each other,
and
there is only a 10G tank would make in the section. So, I am stuck there
with 10G sump. Or maybe two tanks with some creative plumbing going
around
the stand's poor design. One tank would have skimmer and return
sections,
and another would be a fuge. I since the skimmer (AquaC Remora) is a hang
on, I'd estimate my skimmer section (with intake would) take 3 gallons,
and
use remaining 7 for the return section.

Since it is the way I am most likely going to go (glass tank), my first
choice is acrylic for baffles, compartments, etc... What type of glue I
need
to use to glue acrylic to glass?


P.S. Pszemol, The RO/DI saga came to the happy end. My membrane was the
problem, recently I got replacement. It works like a charm. I am very
happy though ) I estimated that with booster pump running I am getting
approximately 110GPD. AWESOME!!!! )) Thanks for your help.

Ok, I am building new sump! I have another 10G tank that
would be transformed into the sump.
Now, It is going to be two section sump: skimmer-return.

Use some experience people have building sumps before you...
If you put not enough baffles/bubble traps in the sump
the water falling down from the overflow will contain
enough air bubbles to get into the pump and create bubble
problem in your display tank.
I would recommend using as much space in your cabinet
for the sump as possible. You could have some sections
of your sump left empty for now and later convert them
into lighted refugium or algae filter etc...
Just browse internet for pages with sumps other people
build and collect ideas to make something usefull for you.

p.s.
I think I missed the end of the RO/DI filter story.
How did it end ? Do you have a working filter now ?
Are you satisfied with the seller support ? Would you
recommend this source of RO filter for other aquarists?
