Hey All,

So I recently had to scrap my sump (due to a very poor design my buddy said would work) and I'm currently in the process of building a new one. I work at a plastics distribution & fabrication company with access to CNC's and lasers and all kinds of cool stuff. My question is, does anyone know any really interesting sump designs that would make my sump operate better. Even if there was a cool brand out there that i could "paraphrase?"

I would like it to have different chambers for carbon or phosban to run through and stuff like that. My tank is not drilled so it will probably have to be a syphon system (unless I can figure out a way to drill it and install a completely different overflow system). Its a 34 gallon red sea max that I am now building a new top to make it open water and mount my AI Sol light to. (I will post pics once its completed)

Thanks
