Can I see some sumps?

Hi Danny,

Here's a 60 gallon sump I just made:





and a schematic of it:



Right now it is on my 125G. FW tank hence the bioballs and ceramic rings. I use the air powered sponge filter for a quick filter should I need a q tank plus it keeps the sump cleaner. Thinking ahead (for SW) I arranged the middle glass baffles to allow for a DSB or refugium space.

Starting to get some good ideas now. Keep em' coming!

Marlin, What are all those holes leading to in your sump?

Will try and get you some pictures. I have 3 in operation right now, each one a little different, all doing a good job.

I did mine a little different as I wanted to use my sump\fuge as a display tank.







All of the equipment and rock is stuffed into the back compartments freeing up the front for fuge\frag tank.

Two 3/4" are for my Chiller one out one in.
The 1" one is for my Beckett style Skimmer its on a 1200 gph Pump.
One 3/4" is for my Return on a 18 mag.
Two 1/2" are in's from my refugium.
Two 1/2" are one in one out on my calcium reactor.
I plumbed all my component separate so needed lots of holes.
Still have my return to plumb in the 1-1/2 is the return from my skimmer in the picture as the 1200 gph is to much for my refugium and some needs to be returned to the Sump.
I will be running my refugium off some of my skimmed water.

Murray, no fish, just a terra cotta saucer holding down some foam (for QT HOB filter).
