hI BRO,

Do you mind sharing more on ther over flow box setup procedures ?

Wow... Nice looking DIY.
All your hard work will pay off when you add the fish
Thumbs up bro

Suggest that you glue the entire length where the water enters the overflow box with "teeth" so as to prevent any small fish from taking an adventure to explore what's in the other side of the overflow box.

In order to reduce the micro bubble produce from the skimmer.
Should be ok right? Or should i change the location?

I am using acrylic to cut out each pieces and glue them up using the acrylic glue. You can refer to the picture below.

You are correct the skimmer should be the first point of contact from the water leaving the tank. For optimum results skimmer needs to be in the first compartment , and the white wool in the second department, to catch any furher dirt. Skimmer outlet should be directed to the last chamber as the return pump.

Great DIY bro!
Later sure kena poison by you to start marine!
