Like the sump, great design.
Is there a reason the skimmer compartment is after the refugium? My sump is the same flow pattern, however I sometimes think the flow through the skimmer then refugium before return could benefit pod growth. Just curious?

IME theres not a pump in the world that can chew pods up , amphipods maybe but not copepods

i use to see them in my skimmer and reactors constantly so im sure they make it through as they got in there

thanks guys for the compliments more to come soon

Nice work guys, can't wait to see this up and running. Plus 2 on a custom sump, like how you've set up ato and dosing compartments in it aswell.

Out of curiousity what does a sump like this cost?

thanks man we love the sump and i could have went a bit more crazy but this is all i really needed for this setup

sump was about $300 and runs completely quiet and bubble free

ive done sumps that make this look basic and simple , some of the crazy designs we have came up with customers have kept me on my toes lol


more to come!!
