Had a leak in my 120G right before Christmas and found a Waterbox 135.4 available locally. Still getting things migrated over, but lover the new Waterbox. More to come, but here's an early shot:

Any pictures of the sump? What are you running down there? Room for reactors?

I use the section to the right of the sump for my GFO/Carbon reactors as well as my dosing pump and containers. I used the ATO section as a fuge by plugging the 1/4 hole and pumping water from skimmer section to fuge section.

Hi I have the same tank and sum. I was wondering if you could help me set up my sump similar to yours. I have never done a refugium and I would love to use the extra box for one.

Sure, all I did was get a small cork plug for the hole from the ATO chamber to the return section (got mine at ACE Hardware). Then I simply hooked up a small pump (I used a spare MJ900 I had) with a flexible tubing piece (that I had extra from a BRS reactor) to pump water from the skimmer section to the ATO section. The water then jump overflow the shorter glass baffles back into the return section and skimmer sections. Seems to work just fine as my chaeto is growing fast.

Also, I put a bunch of rubble rock in the bottom of the "fuge" area for extra beneficial bacteria.

How is your fuge section working out? Are you getting algae growth in other sections of the sump or on the glass the water is spilling over?
