next up now that our fijicrete was dry was to build the aterfalls platforms


we used a mix of expanding foam , epoxy and fijicrete to complete it all







had to seal all the outside as well:0






then coated the inside with fijicrete to hide all the foam and epoxy as well create a stone look

ok so we had to design a sump , this is right up our alley and we got to work and drew something up

these were the plans we made:



















basically our down pipes from the external overflow are plumbed into the chamber marked drain entry form display , water then flows over the baffle and onto a 7" filter sock try , when the socks are running normal water flows under the next baffle and when they clog water flows over the notch and into the fuge , after the socks the water flows through the refugium and then into the skimmer section , through some bubble traps and into the return. we have added a small ATO in the back corner as well some dosing chambers for vinegar, alk , cal and mg there is an acrylic cover for both the ATO and dosing chambers with holes drilled for lines

will post actual pictures of our sump and how it turned out next
