![]() 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 ![]() ![]() will post actual pictures of our sump and how it turned out next ![]() |

![]() 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? Rick

![]() 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?
