I do not think this is intended to have a sump its only 3g, I think its just a simple overflow/return chamber to pull the surface skim off, I will make a crude 3d media basket to go in mine. The AIO have more chambers, filter sock etc...at least that is my understanding.

Ok hopefully they clarify. I was just wondering because I thought AIO then someone said they just needed a sump so at this point I realize... I don't know which it is lol

It does not matter either way to me but just want to know what to plan for.

Good morning. The kit will ship predrilled

I think this is intended to plumb into an existing system.

Thanks for clarification, I read the description but it just said overflow and I wasn't 100% sure.

We were both wrong :)

It is a sump system.

I think we need further clarification, I assumed the pre-drilled was referring to the overflow insert, can we clarify that this unit is intended to be a stand alone unit. I would not plan to run this with a sump etc, I assumed there was an overflow and a hole for a return pump outlet back into the tank. I have read the description but it just talks about pre-drilled etc...

I imagine most will plumb into existing systems rather than add a standalone sump to a Pico tank.

Program update. There are approx. 80 confirmed sales so far. This program is capped at 100 sales. If you are on the fence, time to jump off.
Make that 81, If you want you can hold my order in anticipation for the AIO thingy next week! I 100% need the 18x18 :)
Yall are the best!

It's not an AIO, therefore a sump of some sort is necessary. If it wasn't, it would be an all-in-one.

Eh then I will have to cancel my order, I just read the description and I would not be able to use this...bummer.

I think you could just weld over some acrylic from the store in the drain holes and then it would be an AIO. Might have to drill a return hole in the overflow box if there isn't one on the side we can't see. Both things are fairly simple.

You could also add bulk heads and cap them off to cover the holes.
