LARGE Sump ideas....

[mike31154]

I don't have a sump at all, but do hope to have one in the future. In any case, I saw a thread just the other day, don't recall whether it was this forum or another, but it dealt with adding volume by having one or more plastic 55 gal + drums. The idea was to add the drum as a detritus collector but apparently not much settled in there. The flow would be relatively slow through the drum since it's some sort of add on to the regular glass or acrylic sump with all the gear in it. Just a thought. That way you can have a smaller 'visible' sump while adding volume with large drums. You'll need some real estate of course, preferably a basement set up I reckon, although even a single large sump will take up plenty of room.
