The overflow work just like you use a pipe to siphon out the water during water change.
The only different is the siphon will keep even the pump stop working and resume back when pump turn on.

Too late for me to do such modification. But if the skimmer out flow direct to the return compartment, many micro bubble will be detected in main tank.

Nothing much to update.
Just finished salt mixing yesterday night and now still cycling.
Added medium size coral chips at the sump tank inflow compartment.
Also collected a big pail of live sand from a nice bro from SRC.
Will be cycling until tomorrow and put in the live sand.

Amazing effort. If you need more sand or bio balls, let me know. FOC for you.

hey bro best is you add in live rock and sand then start cycling as they have some organic compounds in them that is not so good
thus add in the live sand then the rock finally the cycling starts wait for ard 4 weeks to complete

For me, rather than cracking my head of a rockscape plan....I always dump in all rocks (live or dead) randomly into the tank first... somehow certain interesting shape of rockscape will form... and then from there I improvise by making few adjustments eg widening hole/cave created unintentionally etc.... u'll be amazed how many combinations u can have

Update on the progress:
Added in live sand just now. Mmmm The problem of using the used live sand is water cloudy...
Here is the pic after added in live sand and running with a temporary filter to remove the dirt.


And here is the SUPER filter!!



After 20 mins, water seems slightly clear. Start scaping!
