sump

Finally getting back into the hobby after a few years hiatus. I bought a "trigger" systems baffle kit for a 40G breeder and diy'ed my sump. Finally got the tank wet and I'm not really happy with the water level in this sump it seems too high. I tested it by sitting everything off and it won't...

Hi reefers, I am looking to revamp my entire sump area and had a few questions. It is a Reefer 350 and I am re-plumbing all the drains, and adding a manifold to the return line (hard plumbed). The other thing I wanted to do was paint the outside walls of the sump white, so that I could see...

Good Morning, I have a 90 Gallon reef tank with a Trigger 30 sump. This is my first time having a sump below. My return chamber water levels seem to move up and down. When it drops my Tunze ATO replaces the water which sometimes throws off the salinity. The extra water is pumped into the...

Hello! I will be going away on vacation in around two weeks for 10 days and I'm considering getting an auto top off system to control the salinity while I'm gone. But there's a catch! My return pump is set to pulse mode and the sump water level changes. Will an auto top system work in my sump...

Hey everyone so I purchased my aquarium from a friends dad who personally built the sump, I had some assistance with someone who had a crash course from an expert in setting it up but I am just becoming not happy enough with the function and look of my sump. I’d like to add a fuge so I could...

So I got a 25-gallon tank with a complete setup for freshwater fish, but I want to build a reef instead. I'm looking for the most affordable options for sumps, return pumps, power heads, and what all is absolutely essential to maintain a reef. I know that sumps aren't essential, but do I still...

Found someone on ebay selling chaeto for a good price the issue is he is shipping priority mail. How long could it last in a padded envelope? Would it be worth the risk with all the shipping delays?

Hi all, I’ve got a new Waterbox Marine X 35.1 aquarium that I’ve had set up for <1 month thus far. I have a few soft corals and two RBTA which are all doing well, and two clownfish. My plan for this aquarium is to do an SPS dominant reef with a few zoanthids and mushrooms. Currently in my sump...

Hello all, I have never plumbed a tank before and was looking for some friendly input. I have done some research but the more input the better. This is my situation: I have a 40G breeder and a 20G sump that I built. I have a Fluval SP4 pump which I realize now is way overkill. I figure I can...

Hello, about a month ago, I set up my first sump ever. I received this macroalgae from a friend in the hobby (i know this is not recommended, but it was full of pods, and healthy when I received it with no pests). he told me it was "dragons breath" however upon googling and searching, I am not...

I recently purchased a Reef Octopus RO-PS-2000INT off a local reefer because skimmers are ridiculously expensive and this is my first internal skimmer. I read something about recommended height for the input and output and I’m not exactly sure what that exactly means. Should I be measuring from...
