...ideas on configuring my new sump. 75g 48x18x18. I'll need a frag department in there. Anyone bored and feel like designing/drawing?? :D

[Canadian Man]

Hey Brad. I think IMO i got a pretty cool configured 75g sump.
Check out my site it has pics.
I use it as a refugium but anything is possible.
I was going to support some eggcrate in the refugium for frags once it's nessecary.

Jon, only pic I see is sump_MHpendant.jpg, and I can't make out the details. Is there a different pic somewhre? Thanks!

[Canadian Man]

I can take some pic's when I am at home and I could email you or I can draw it and email it to you as well?
I will be home in a couple hours.

email works great Jon. I want as many ideas as possible before I start building!

Hey Jon, I would mind those pictures aswell. I was a little overwhelmed when I was over ;)

Ok lets start at the begining.. what all do you expect out of your sump? what equipment do you want in it? and are you going to have a sump/refuge or just a sump?

Beginning? OK :D
Must hold a MAG 18 for skimmer feed, MAG 12 for return, tiny little pump for reactor feed. Must be quiet, and not allow bubbles to return to the tank. It will have a Kent float valve for level control. I need an area to grow out up to 20 frags. It also holds 2 heaters and a pH probe. And it has some rocks. And prolly other stuff I can't think of right now :P

Brad,

I helped MtnDewMan design his 40 gallon sump (http://www.fitermania.com/75gallonreef/equip2.htm#filtration) PM me with what you are looking for and thoughts you have. I have another 3 slower weeks before work gets almost too busy again. Right now I have crews out and I am dealing with the insurance companies over the theft of 95% of our equipment over the holidays :cry:

Scott

PS Lifereef has some great examples to get ideas from.
