Hi everyone, I have a 90 gallon saltwater tank that is about 3 years old. It comes with the stand and canopy and sump and everything pictured (the clownfish and coral are not included, the foxface can be if you want him.). Unfortunately, I'm needing to downsize for the time being. Here is a...

I’m in the process of building a tank (50g Acrylic), tank stand, and sump (20g long). The sump will have a refugium (including a light) along with a protein skimmer and return pump. The sump will be located under the main tank, in the stand, enclosed by 3 wood walls. I hadn’t considered...

I would have assumed that this question was asked before, but I didn’t see it anywhere. But, I’m sorry if it’s a repeat and I just missed it. ‘Soon I will be ready to set up a 50g reef aquarium, with a 20g sump. My plan is to incorporate a refugium into my sump. I’ve read a lot of articles and...

Hello everyone, I’m a new reefer and recently bought a tank from a friend. I rebuilt everything and finally filled it over a course of a week. Everything is running fine but my first problem I’ve had is the sump being very loud. It seems to be the overflow pipe running into the cylinder has a...

Hey all. I about 8 months ago I broke down my 90 gallon reef due to aptasia running rampid and started up a small Aqueon frameless cube with homemade rock scaping. It is ok but I feel like I was missing something. I remembered I have been trying to sell my old 40 breeder tank with DIY stand but...

I have an older sump with display straight to sump and live rock with no socks. I want to upgrade my sump but it’s well established and I’m concerned about disrupting the ecosystem with a brand new fresh sump (same live rock). Is there a concern? Tips? Tricks?

Hello, While having had a tank crash in my 10-gallon I want to take the opportunity to upgrade to a new tank. I have been breaking my head for the following tanks. Waterbox AIO 35.2 or the Red Sea reefer 170 G2. The only reason I would go whit the waterbox is just how easy an AIO is. I once...

https://techenclave.com/threads/my-diy-aquarium-build-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-anoxic-filtration.202272/ I used 3mm tile spacers, pinched the nozzle and injected silicon in between the glass panes. All 3 tanks, 3 sumps done the same way. Neat and almost zero bubbles. No leak test needed as...

Does any1 out there run their sump/refug. As a visible tank like a DT. I was think of setting up a twin system with the sump in a matching aquarium right next to the DT. I guess the real question is does any1 else love the sump just as much as the DT, I know I find myself spending just as much...

Hey guys.. so I have an IceCap 48xl sump for my 310 gallon display tank that I’m considering to modify to enlarge the return pump section of it. The sump comes with a 15 gallon ATO reservoir but I’m using my 130g total volume saltwater mixing station also for auto-top offs since it’s in the same...

I removed my Intank chamber 1 basket to change chemi-pure bag. When I put the basket back in the tank, water levels have decreased in chambers 2 & 3. It looks like water is trickling through the side of the basket rather than through it (see second pic) Because my heater isn’t fully...

I attached a rough image of what I intend my new frag tank setup with a ZooMed Low Boy to look like (I'm not the guy he's just a reference for height) what are some pieces of equipment you all suggest? I already have a sump for the system and an array of lights including 2 LEDs, a T5 fixture and...

So I broke down my 90 gallon Aqueon that was only house a pair of sevrums and tetras. Kinda of a waste. Looking to make my own Sump. What size should I get for a 90 gallon. I'm looking to buy an eshopp pf800 which does 800gph. Should I go for the 1000? Or is 800 good enough. Thanks for the...

Looking to start a refugium in my waterbox marine x series. Was just looking for some ideas on how to do so, deciding between a hob type to put in the sump or creating another chamber in my sump for it. Also what lights does everyone recommend for the refugium? Thanks!

So Im new to owning a sump and when i first set it up the flow was PERFECT then after a month it randomly decided to stop matching eachother (a fish got in the overflow and it started acting funny and now i cant get it corrected). Im not too fond of sumps to be honest but the water is returning...

My story and how I finally reached 8.3PH! Also please let me know, have you achieved 8.3PH? And how did you get there? Ok so for those interested in PH from a “layman’s reef” I’m only a barely second year reef hobbyist with a 50gal tank/sump system living in western Colorado. My tank has...

Hi, I just got my new tank build up and running. I was impressed with how silent the overflow was, how dead silent the return pump was, and how quiet the water was flowing into the sump. However, the actual drain pipes under the tank going to the sump sound like the roaring rapids as the water...

Hey I am wanting to use a section of my Redsea reefer 350 v3 sump for some chato to help in nutrient control as I don't wish to use Nopox and id like to try the more natural approach i can see with my eyes. Unfortunately the 350's sump all be it spacious gets cramped once you have; heaters...
