sump advice

I have a Reefer 350 with the stock V3 sump. I want to relocate sump to Garage. The tank is against a wall that is next to the garage. So plan is to hard plumb everything. I would like to find a 100 gallon sump as it will need to house my skimmer, 2 media reactors, UV, 3 heaters. I will need to...

Hello R2R! I purchased a red sea reefer 170 today at a garage sale in the box. My issue is it was just the tank. No stand no sump no piping. Any idea how I should go about getting the piping and the sump or a sump for this. Thanks kindly for your replies and time!

Ok so i just got my new Fiji cube 57 gallon complete set up. My issue is what to do about the refugium. I’m going to get 2 AI Prime HD 16 lights and a VerioS-2 return pump. I have a Tunze ATO from prev tank. Will be using some bio media under the filter floss but after that I have no clue...

I noticed these small snails all over my sump, filter socks, etc. I haven’t seen any in the display as of yet. I do have 2 turbo snails in my sump so I’m not sure if it’s possible they laid some eggs that hatched ? I doubt it as they seem to be really flat. I attached some pictures of one of the...

Hi everyone, I’m planning a bean animal backpack overflow on my new build, and also want to include an automatic fleece roller (the only style available here is pictured). Any suggestions on how to plumb the two return lines from the bean animal into the fleece roller? I’m sure someone must...

Hey all, just have an older Eshopps sump with a fuge, and was hoping some one could help me get it plumbed right. Some of it I know, as in, most (OK ALL) of this is more jacked up than a cheap auto mechanic. Green is return line, grey corrugated is attached to the over flow. There are some...

How often does everyone clean their sump?? And how? Do you incorporate a water change (drain it), then scrub it clean?? i need some more thoughts and ideas. I’ve always kept a dirty sump, but now that i have a new and nicer tank, i want to keep it nice and clean.

Hi all, so smy 525XL that I am attempting to give a good clean out to is going well in the actual tank itself, not so underneath as yet, but I thought before I get to far ahead, I should just check for any leaks. So I filled the overflow box in my 525xl tank to see if no 1.) the 3 pipes that are...

What would I have to change to use a sump instead of a Fluval fx6 and Fluval 407? Display tank is 125 gallons, I want the sump tank to be 55 gallons. Any advice on setting up a divider/baffle free sump tank? Can I successfully set up a sump for less than what a Fluval fx6 costs if I already have...
