Custom sump ideas

[Sobo's Reef]

Alright. So I'm at the beginning of planning out my custom sump that I eventually want built. I was wondering if anyone could post some pics of their system and give me some layout ideas. I have a 6ft 150g tank with 2 built in corner overflows. Thanks in advance!

This is one I picked up from Elite for my 210, with 2 overflows. Still in the process of setting the tank up.

The beginning of the inflow/skimmer section,

Better,

Fuge (( with fuge light )) and part of the return section,

Return and ATO container

I did not go with you typical left or right flow pattern. You cant see it but there are probe and dosing tube holder too. Best bet is to check out Synergy or Elites threads. Unfortunately I have not taken pics of it installed.

Yeah I looked at both of their websites but neither had much info to offer on doing a custom layout.

Want to say it was around $500, will have to dbl check though.

It does have a 4 probe, probe holder --- fits the APEX probes.

Try emailing Elite, went back and forth with them a few times, with a few questions.

Awesome, I'll send em an email tomorrow and see

Did both. Aquabox.com also doesn't really show a lot or atleast that I noticed. I guess my best bet would be to draw it up and email it to the different companies for quotes. I just wanted to get some ideas on how other people have it set up.

Look up their vendor page on Richmond reefers dot com, should have plenty of pics.

Here's mine so bo I really like my design. Two piece for removal and center return so u can control fuge flow. 7 g ato on the right.

Wish I had confidence to make my own bc I definitely would lol

The pain is having the right tools to cut the stuff so it turns out nice. I ran my own construction buisness for a few years so I have stuff. 100.00 blade in the table saw was all I bought.
