100 Gal Stock Tank

[c4haskett]

Good Morning, everyone! Going to be moving soon and planning to set up a garage frag system. I've always wanted to do a 100 gal rubbermaid stock tank sump. I had a couple questions for those that have one. Filter socks/pads. How are you incorporating this into the sump? I've been thinking about a bucket. Show me some pictures if you have them. I am also wondering about an ATO. Since the tank is so large, I assume quite a bit of evaporation must happen in order to trigger the sensor. Are you experiencing any salinity swings because of this? Total volume would be around 150 gal minus rock. Please post any stock tank sump pics you may have so I can get some ideas! Thanks.

I've only run stock tanks temporarily but I found this older post with a nice set up. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/geos-reef-rubbermaid-stock-tank-sock-holders.263744/

You could honestly still baffle a stock tank too; making the custom plastic baffles would be a bit of a pain, but it is possible!
