911....what size sump?

I don''t like that tote. I think its too tall. I am gonna be scouting out the town this weekend. There has to be something out there i can find and use.

Lowes has a storage container that is black with a yellow top. I forget the name of the thing, but it's really heavy duty, and made in Canada. It's rated for 300 lbs. or something like that. Holds about 20 some gals. 28 I think. It's been a while since I bought it. It sits 18" tall. I use one in the cabinet on a 125 gal. and it works great. The material is thick, and it's reinforced, so there is no flexing like those cheapo rubbermaid containers.

Eileen,
The picture of your tank shows a drain overflow pipe with two 90's on top. What purpose do they serve?
Thanks
Ron

I'm not Eileen, but it's called a standpipe. It helps keep the water in the overflow box at a consistent level by means of siphon. Without it, the overflow box level will fluctuate up and down.
