I tried finding this info everywhere to no avail...even red sea manual for the max line up doesn't cover dimensions of the two sumps only water volume and they differ from 1 gallon in size. I want to know if I can use the red sea max 260 sump upgrade on my current max 170 plug and play. In pics...

For sale is some large scale fish equipment. Asking $6000 pick up only or assist with loading if you arrange transportation. Maybe it won’t get kicked for being commercial again…because it is not just trying to reach a lot of fish lover like myself that could put this stuff to good use. I did...

Hi R2R, I'm documenting the conversion of my 23gal Vista (mid brackish) to FOWLR with the plan of growing Coralline algae (moving it into the reef space). I've had the tank for about 2.5 years now at various FW to low end brackish salinities... The biggest reasons I am turning the tank into...

I have been suffering through a massive vermetid worm infestation in my tank for the past year. It all started from one vermetid worm that sneaked in on a Monti frag. I have well over a hundred worm shells in my 65G and have tried everything to include gluing, forcep removal, reduced feeding...

I have had a 40 breeder for a few months and coming from having nanos, sumps and plumbing are fairly new to me. I bought a used quiet one 4000(1022 gph) cut back with a valve and have a split return nozzle for my flow. I came across some forums saying to never use your return pump as a primary...

Everyone has a spare MJ pump in their old aquarium equipment bin. Why not put it to use on your next water change and clean out that sump with the MJV - MJ Utility Pump Vacuum Attachment by Compatible with 3/4in OD hose Add the vacuum attachment to any hose with a 3/4in OD and breeze...

Hi all, Building my first reef tank. Currently fishless cycling so I'm beginning to think about my refugium. My refugium as part of my sump is 15H x 9W x 17D. I'm planning to use rubble vs sand. My two questions are: 1. What's a good starter algae/plant? I'm assuming chaeto? and...

Used Reef Octopus 110 EXT. It is an external recirculating skimmer, however I ran the entire unit inside the sump. The pump seemed a bit touchy, but could have been operator error. It can be replaced for relatively cheap if it is acting up. Probably needs to be cleaned as well. $250 new...

I am looking for a sump tray - a shallow water proof tray of sorts to put under a 34X15" sump, just in case of water spills etc. I also don't want to spend the dollars on something custom acrylic. Thanks as always for your help.

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...

hello I am building a 190 gallon reef tank tank with a fifty five gallon sump. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the whole sump a refugium and fill it with chaeto algae and around 75 mangrove trees. Would this provide adequate filtration

I would love advice on a design I am considering for a new build. In my current build I have a smaller sump (ruby cube 20" Trigger sump) and run the refugium in the section next to the skimmer along with some live rock for good measure. What I don't like about this setup is 1). its tight and...

Hey guys, I recently got my Reefer 450 up and running and now want to focus on having a great means of algae control. The Reefer looks so nice right now and I want to avoid any algae problems which I've experienced in the past with other tanks. I have a Reefer 450 and a 65 gallon tank running...

Team I purchased the waterbox 135.4, and I don't really like the sump; I was looking for a sump to replace it, but the 33" sump area really limits my options. Does anyone have experience with this Eshopps R-200 REFUGIUM SUMP 3RD GEN? It looks a little odd, but it has both a skimmer and...

I have a Red Sea Reefer 170 and I bought a 4" sock that will not fit in my sump. Is there a special size for red sea? I would like to find some other than name brand sock to use other then red sea. what do you use?

Let me start off by saying how glad I am that R2R exists and how helpful all members have been during my initial startup process. The first 2 paragraphs are background and tank info so you may skip reading. I have decided to finally get my 40B up and running so I have been slowly gathering...

I started my 40 breeder reef tank with a DIY 20 long sump but I would now like to upgrade to a manufactured sump. There are a few intricacies of my setup that have been making the search difficult. 1. Flow in the sump should be right to left (I could change this but it would be a plumbing mess...
