That is a sweet sump! I tried reading the name on it but, due to reflection, all I could make out is "Platinum Series." Who is the manufacturer?

Its made by Hmahli here in Australia - I believe BRS Imports them into the US. I picked this one up second hand for a bargain!

Thanks!

That one you picked up must have been custom as it has 3 outputs and built-in reactors.

I looked them up on BRS but didn't see them. Perhaps because shipping them here would make them not so competitively priced. They sure are nice though!

This is the closest i could see on the BRS website - https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/plat...fGlSWN3fM1af_XYhaUz15qTzDUFPEe3plvyIkrVVoOfo0

The one I picked up was a custom order, so it has the slow fluid reactors built in also which are nice.

Your linked worked but it looks like BRS doesn't sell them. Something else that is odd is that if I search "Hmahli" or "Platinum" it does not find the sump.

Anyways, on to better things like the new buys leading me to think you have another system in the works. Am I close?

Not at this stage.
Creating a sump room in my garage for everything currently under my tank, and a water change station + plumbing etc.

This will eventually allow me to upsize my tank...but thats still down the track!

Lots of planning as I want to be able to basically shut one sump off and start the other one up with very little downtime.

Oh nice! Would love to set up a water change station. One that makes mixing, pumping etc. soooo much easier than my current way of doing it.
Look forward to seeing more on that as you progress!

Pulled out the top down viewer and took some video last night, here are some stills from this. Tank has been cranking lately, swapped over all my trace elements to East Coast Corals, and my coral foods and aminos to Aquaculture Kings about a month or so ago, seems to be making a difference!
