I just ordered a new LifeReef Sump System today ! I am on a waiting list, so until Jeff builds mine out, I thought it would be interesting to see some of your LifeReef Systems. Please post lots of pics ! Let's start a LifeReef gallery thread.

I just wish his skimmers looked "cooler" with colored pvc and such tried to ask him so it would match my tank filtration, but nope, no flexibility there
Love LifeReef! Jeff is awesome.
Right now I'm only running his skimmer because I needed a Triton specific sump and it was just easier to work with my local guy, Building An Obsession here in Houston.
But on my previous build where I had a separate fish room, I went all out with Jeff, getting the skimmer, sump and refugium.
Was a great setup.
It was custom. The sump and fuge combo in the pic was about 74" long. LolNice ! Which model did you have on your previous build ?
They aren't snazzy looking and I am not that fond of the loose O-ring seal between the collection cup and the body. But that's about it. It is a workhorse and the design has remained basically the same for about 30 years, indicating that making bubbles in water ain't rocket science.Yea... I've heard that LifeReef Sumps and Skimmers last "forever" ! There are lots and lots of online testimonials and reviews from people who say they've had them for 15-20 years without failure.
They are a little more expensive than I was planning to pay, but if they will last a long time and serve me well, I think it's well worth it.
View attachment 488442 His stuff just flat out works and works well. I think his prices are in line with most of the other guys and he builds all his stuff, so he knows the product very well.
Hey finatik you're on his schedule too?? when's he doing your build?? I can't wait for mine to be complete. I think it will definitely be a step above his usual work, even the signature series.
Awesome!!! hopefully I'll have pics of mine up in a month for you to drool over lol Kidding... What system did you order??
