Did you ever get all this figured out? I am looking into building my Sump here in a bit and love what you did but hate when you don't know the ending
Anyone have a designer plans for using a 40 breader?
I’m a newb man forgive me only been in the hobby 1.5 years an I’m running a cube now. This stuffs a lil foreign to me right now.Not sure why design plans are needed to put a couple of baffles in. You don’t need a bunch of fancy stuff in a sump. Media can go anywhere. You don’t need a holder for the drain pipes from your overflow. You can buy a sock holder to just drop in your sump and a holder for hoses.

Thanks brother! I knew the concept an everything but u broke it down perfect! So for the skimmer section I want it essentially big enough for my skimmer and filter socks?There are two common sump designs. The size and height of the first chamber is set by your skimmer. The return section should be as small as possible (you can easily get the pump out). You want your ATO to do short top offs. The height of the other baffles doesn’t matter to much just make them as high as you can with out the sump over filling. Make sure you have enough room for back flow if the power goes out.
Who is going to cut all of the material (acrylic?)Some updates to the design. I am now planning to run a separate pump to feed the frag/fuge section. I picked up a Syncra Silent 2.0 & 1.0 as my two pumps (main return and frag/fuge). I also changed my mind about the type of heater I will be using. I now have a Neotherm 200W heater so I changed my heater mount design to accommodate it. There have been a few other small tweaks such as a cutout in the first lid to provide clearance for the filter roller.
