Really no reason other then cleaning just read a thread talking about it had me thinking about it. So tonight I fitted all plumbing and decided I'm not going to use the 75 for a sump going with a 40 breeder for space reasons. I didn't glue pvc due to this but I think everything will work either way though. I due have a question can I feed my skimmer off of the full siphon in the bean system ?

I'm now looking for a 40 breeder if anyone has anything

The overflow I build out of a old 29 gallon I cut up I have a top for it but not done making a guard for it so nothing can get in.as you can see there is no room with the 75 and the skimmer for a top off tank and other equipment
