sump

I have decided to part out my Red Sea Reefer 250 build. I had it almost completed (wet tested) and ready to start cycle. Family financial and health issues have forced me to sell. Sad but it must be done. Anyway, I have a brand new custom build (by Clearwater) red CW-50 Algae Scrubber with...

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'm having issues with a DIY sump build on my AIO tank and I'm not sure if it's a non-fixable issue or just something that needs more time and patience. As my tank is in a corner pictures of the back are hard to get, so I hope this MS Paint masterpiece is clear enough. (not to scale, and...

Hey all! Been a while since I posted. I just got a free 72 Gallon aquarium that I’m currently testing for leaks as I type. I was given the sump and protein skimmer as well but I have no knowledge as to how it was previously set up. plumbing isn’t really my concerns as to how this skimmer works...

Hello! I’m very much a newbie, currently gathering all the information I can before I start putting together my tank. I have a few questions about filtration. I’m sure these questions are answered elsewhere on this site but I haven’t found the exact answers I’m looking for. Here goes: I have a...

So I bought a new Red Sea reefer 170 a few months ago and I haven’t set it up yet. I am trying to decide on how to create a refugium in my sump and what set up I should go with. I have a piece of glass that I had cut to add into the sump to separate it. I just need some help to figure out which...

Hey guys, so I have some questions only for those with experience bonding these materials, as I am in the final stages of a $600 Acrylic Sump build, and this final bond stage is so important for the quality and life of the sump. I found a little bit of material from Melevsreef on how to bond...

I have a JBJ 65 and wanted to know if anyone has removed one of the glass sump separators? If you did remove one, why and how did it work out? Thanks in advance!

I've seen 2 different designs of bubble traps. Which of the 2 do you think is better in terms of eliminating microbubbles? I was thinking that maybe #1 would be more effective, since water runs through a certain length without contact with the air and then goes directly to the return pump...

Hello I ordered a Aqua lifter pump to add to my overflow, and I just found out that it won’t be coming. I picked this pump because it was the only one that I have heard of being used the way I am trying to. I’m planning on using it to remove the air bubbles from my overflow and keep the siphon...

Hey all I gotta question to run past y’all. So I’m in the process of putting together a shopping list for a tank. I’ve made up my mind on adding a sump (a 10 gallon aquarium). I also want to run a predominately (or completely) biological/refugium filtration setup. However, I now have a decision...

Hi everyone, wanted to share my sump painting project. I apologize in advance for the long description. Feel free to avoid the whole story and jump to conclusions with the pictures . STORY: Few months ago I got a used Aqueon ProFlex Sump for about $50, as you’ll see in the pictures, the sump is...

So I’m going back and forth on plumbing a 75 gallon tank for return lines, my 1inch drains x3 overflow will be PVC, so it ok to soft plumbing for the return. What’s the durability? any leaks to be worried about? I want to plumb 2 -3/4 returns on each side

I already have a small hole drilled to my return nozzle in order to break the siphon when my pump is off. The problem is that the hole is to low from the water line causing more water then I want to drain into my sump. The question I have is if I make another small hole will there be any issues...

Plumbing a 75gallon display tank and I have a 1500gph pump and 1 inch drains. My question would be, is it best to do 1inch or 3/4 drain with 3/4 bulkhead lock line. Trying to have the best flow less pressure loss

How's everyone doing, So I have a IM 50 Lagoon AIO. I want to take out the build in filtration and add a synergy reef shadow overflow V2. That means I would be looking into a sump now. I have the APS stand and was wondering what you guys would get for the sump? I would really like for the...

I have been working on this 40 gallon breeder sump conversion for the last week or so, and I am looking for constructive feedback. In the works is piping, along with a fluorescent dowel plan to make the sump baffles glow once a UV led strip is installed in cabinet! Going Orange Section 40 with...

Hi Guys, new to R2R, but a long time lurker. I have been using this overflow for about 2 years now with no trouble, so I figured it was time to show it off! It will overflow about 2-300gph to my sump, and will automatically start and stop when the water level rises above the baffle just before...

So, long story short I have everything that comes with a WB Reef 70.2 system other than the stand. I had quite some issues with the original order getting to me with a complete nondamaged stand that WB sent out a whole new system freighted. I've water tested both the sump and display tank with 0...

I went in a different direction in my build from over the summer and ended up not using this. So it is effectively brand new, only had water running in it for about 48 hours. Had thought I might use it in another application, but need my garage space more than a backup sump at this point :p...
