So I picked up a 275g IBC Tote and I would like to make it into a sump for my 300g tank.
I think I've seen a few other members do this before and I have questions...
Can I take the plastic tote out of the support cage? (with the cage it will not fit down my stairs or into the tank room)
Is the cage for stability when the totes are being stacked or can I fill it with water once it's been separated (if it can be separated)?
With it being plastic, I can move the tote down the stairs and place it snugly into the space between the tank and the wall (they would become the new "support")
Any help, suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
