    Hello, your Local fish store should be able to help you with plumbing ideas and what type of sump setup you want. I'm sure someone here will have a link to a good thread/article.

    What size is your 3' tank...what are all the dimensions...What size tank are you talking about upgrading too...have you decided on the equipment you want yet? You need built in overflows or have someone drill the tank. Sounds to me like you have lots of planning to do first before buying your tank....either lots of planning or throw a bunch of money @ a LFS
