sump layout

Hi All Long time lurker picking up as much research as possible. First time poster, I recently setup my new aquasys 255 tank but have a question about sump layout/design. I installed a Clarisea reefmat but due to size it had to be installed in 2nd section after socks. So it’s plumbed in and the...

Hey I am wanting to use a section of my Redsea reefer 350 v3 sump for some chato to help in nutrient control as I don't wish to use Nopox and id like to try the more natural approach i can see with my eyes. Unfortunately the 350's sump all be it spacious gets cramped once you have; heaters...

I would really appreciate all feedback. Finally I have started assembling my tank and now working with sump phase. It has been on hold for three years since priories changed with new born back then and I have been stuck few days with how to setup the baffles in the sump to have silent water flow...

I have a 60 gal Shallow with Trigger Sapphire 34, I don't have much room under my DT for all me equipment. I'm really wanting to move sump to different location. I don't have a basement . Anyone done this?

Time for heroes. I have finalized my requirement for the life reef skimmer and No, I could not resist be a Life reef sump owner as well. I will end up paying 150% of total cost to cover up shipping to Sweden+25%Moms+Tulls but I do not care. Inner me want a LR sump and I do not like to change or...

I'm interested to see what type of sumps you all have. This being one of my favorite parts of my tank I feel that they are the unsung equipment heroes of our hobby. The versatility and variety of the sump is just as fascinating to me as our display tanks with the ability to add a plethora of...

I have a Peninsula 650 arriving this week and I'm trying to figure out which side to mount the doors on but this leads to my question, what is the philosophy to have the water flow in the sump go through the refugium first and before the skimmer?

Hi everyone. I am currently designing my first Reef tank (yay) I figured why not go big so I am roughly planning to go with a 96 x 30 x (maybe 30 in height) Display tank, With a 72 x 24 x 24 sump. I know that I want a large refugium at around 3 ft powered with 2 H380 Kessil lights (I'm not sure...

Mr. Doyle wanted a special sump that not only looked great but covered all his criteria for his new reef build. Thank you Mr. Doyle for choosing GEO to build your custom SU46RD-PRO with remote 10 gallon ATO reservoir. http://www.geosreef.com/product/geo-su46rd-pro/

After losing my sump to an exploding heater I have had a hard time finding a new sump that meets my needs. I had an eshopps gen2 but it's discontinued. I have a skimmer and algae turf scrubber so I need the dimensions to be 30 inch total length with skimmer chamber being 10x, refugium section...

So I've been "aquariuming" for awhile however, I did not gain good experience due to rash teenage decisions and mostly blew my money on equipment/fish I didn't know how to use/care for. Now after college I'm back and have the money/patience to do it right. ANYWAYS I have a 55g display tank and...

Hi All, I have a small mixed reef tank (170ltr) now about 4 years, and my two canister filters are finally starting to die, so rather than replace them I'm getting a small sump built. I used one canister filter with bioballs and high flow which fed my UV before heading back to the tank. The...

Hello! I have had my tank for about a year now. It is somewhere between 40-50 gallons. The only thing I'm not to familiar with is my sump because I bought the tank already set up from someone, I just transported it to my house. I am interested in having a refugium. I am considering just getting...

Am upgrading to a TMC signature 900 with ocean life overflow soon and am assured the sump design is bad. Want to run Sera Siporax 25mm hoops in a egg crate basket for nutrient control because I don't like the look or the mess a refugium creates. Have also had good success in my nano with...
