Lets See Those Sumps! (Poll)

[ndrwater]

I’m still working on my sump pit. Here are some pictures of the sump during construction and just recently when I painted the rubber membrane on it. I built a house on a slab and had the builder and foundation guy build me a 4’ long, 4’ deep by 32” wide concrete pit. The hoses from 2 tanks run to the pit.

This is definitely going to need it's own build thread..... Feel free to start one NOW!!! Or sooner...

In my basement I created a sump room. DIY from an old 75 gallon acrylic tank I made. DIY kalk tank with integral stirrer. Ready to go fresh salt water.

My first attempt at a diy display sump! I am very proud of the way it came out.

Always love a reason to show off my disaster;)

Custom Lifereef setup, Sump, skimmer, reactors, ATO container and hanging fuge.

Thank you, Thank you, Just thank you. I was starting a corner tank build and was trying to figure out how to get a bit more anything to fit under the stand. This hanging/shelf idea is exactly what I needed. Thank you, If I'm ever in Calgary I'll buy you 8 to 10 beers.

DIY out of a 20 long, this is a older shot, the red macro has filled the Fuge up now, and I’ve harvested some a couple of times

Well you're welcome! That's what this threads all about and for your research, this is where I got the hardware....

Amazing selection of aluminum fittings and stainless steel cables (I got the coated version) and real easy to install. Fittings are rated for 65 pounds each so in reality will hold a fair bit more.

Shelf is 2 1/4" pieces of acrylic laminated together resting on two pieces of 1 x 2" laminated pine screwed and glued into the side and back of the stand with one cable support in the front corner.

Fuge holds 5 Gallons of water so roughly 45 pounds.

Mine is a 40g breeder, 2 4" socks, Reef Octopus 200 skimmer, refugium With cheato, and a Simplicity DC pump. Adding gfo and carbon reactors and a 10g ATO

YES please start a build thread. That's super sick.

Sump Room

 

[Reefer Reboot]

Some very impressive, immaculate, color coordinated (Bud Lighto_O), and absolutely HUGH sumps out there. Wish I had more room. I had to cram mine onto a 36" x 36" footprint. I DIY'ed it (& it looks it) out of an old tank. Not much to look at but it is effective.
Now, for your musical entertainment, let's all sing ;Singing, "The macro in the sump goes round and round."

Anyone else have big balls of tumbling macro?;Facepalm

 

[Bmasculine]

Here’s mine just got it set up a few weeks ago. It’s a trigger systems sapphire cube. Sorry for the poor iPhone pics.
