Hello boys and girls,

I have enjoyed the discussion about baffles in sumps. So if you can show me some pictures of your sumps.

Older picture from when I was setting up a frag area. 75g and run about 1000 gph. Behind the skimmer have a bubble trap and use a 100µ sock to go over both drains. Baffles are over/under/over and easily removed as drop between glass pieces siliconed to sides of sump. Usually keep a bag of carbon between the first and second baffles.

Here is my ghettorific sump. It sits under the workbench in my shop. On top of the bench on one side is a refuge which gravity feeds into the display which is in the rumpus room on the other side of the wall. On the right is a top up reservoir powered by an osmolator.

I had to laugh, when I clicked on this thread I had no intention of posting pics of my sump but after looking at pics of nice clean sumps I just had to post a pic of my nasty, coralline encrusted one :lol:

The coralline algae is a lot thicker then it looks in the picture

HEHE, I love seeing the mag flip in the sump... I don't clean mine, but laughed when I saw that.
