sump

Hi All, Still fiddling with what I want my filtration system to be like on my first reef tank (20g High). Right now I am running an Aquaclear 70 HOB that I modded into a refugium but I'm not wild about it. Cheato inevitably gets into the DT, I'm not really doing anything for protein skimming...

It has been on hold for three years since priories changed with new born back then and I have been stuck few days with how to setup the baffles in the sump to have silent water flow...

I'm having issues with a DIY sump build on my AIO tank and I'm not sure if it's a non-fixable issue or just something that needs more time and patience. As my tank is in a corner pictures of the back are hard to get, so I hope this MS Paint masterpiece is clear enough. (not to scale, and...

So I bought a new Red Sea reefer 170 a few months ago and I haven’t set it up yet. I am trying to decide on how to create a refugium in my sump and what set up I should go with. I have a piece of glass that I had cut to add into the sump to separate it. I just need some help to figure out which...

Hey guys, so I have some questions only for those with experience bonding these materials, as I am in the final stages of a $600 Acrylic Sump build, and this final bond stage is so important for the quality and life of the sump. I found a little bit of material from Melevsreef on how to bond...

I have a JBJ 65 and wanted to know if anyone has removed one of the glass sump separators? If you did remove one, why and how did it work out? Thanks in advance!

I've seen 2 different designs of bubble traps. Which of the 2 do you think is better in terms of eliminating microbubbles? I was thinking that maybe #1 would be more effective, since water runs through a certain length without contact with the air and then goes directly to the return pump...

Hello I ordered a Aqua lifter pump to add to my overflow, and I just found out that it won’t be coming. I picked this pump because it was the only one that I have heard of being used the way I am trying to. I’m planning on using it to remove the air bubbles from my overflow and keep the siphon...

Hey all I gotta question to run past y’all. So I’m in the process of putting together a shopping list for a tank. I’ve made up my mind on adding a sump (a 10 gallon aquarium). I also want to run a predominately (or completely) biological/refugium filtration setup. However, I now have a decision...

So I’m going back and forth on plumbing a 75 gallon tank for return lines, my 1inch drains x3 overflow will be PVC, so it ok to soft plumbing for the return. What’s the durability? any leaks to be worried about? I want to plumb 2 -3/4 returns on each side

I already have a small hole drilled to my return nozzle in order to break the siphon when my pump is off. The problem is that the hole is to low from the water line causing more water then I want to drain into my sump. The question I have is if I make another small hole will there be any issues...
