If that is a 55 gallon aquarium then @TaylorPilot makes a DIY kit for making your own sump.Could I build a refugium starting with a 48" glass tank.. If so are there any plans out there to help me out ??
Search youtube .
I have built two different sumps, one out of a 20G long and one out of a 30G. Since each one has different pumps and different skimmers I chose to use different designs for each. I looked at the acrylic sumps on the market and chose the options I thought would work best. The first one I did not originally put a filter sock in but added a sock hanger after.Could I build a refugium starting with a 48" glass tank.. If so are there any plans out there to help me out ??
He built me a custom one without the sock filters for my 55 gallon sump. That allowed me to have a very large refugium compared to most sumps. Couldn't be happier.Thanks for the reply 'taylorpilot'.. I was just looking at your kits.. I think this is the route I would like to go.. It looks pretty straightforward.. I like the idea of all the machined parts.. Is it the DIY 55 sump kit that has the refugium ?

Holy cow I missed the sponsor section now I got to go back and start reading again. But this is very interesting because I'm getting ready to turn a 75 gallon into a sump RefYes, the 55 has a refugium. It is actually our only kit at the moment that does. The 36" long kits are just too small to have all 4 sections. Let me know if you have any questions. You can see allot of information in our sponsor section.
Ha, why didn't I think of that
