Let's Talk Sumps

[DangerDave]

@Deezill Was that question for me? If so, yes I do. I'm using an apex ATK, but my pmup died so I'm using the avast marine diaphragm pump running through a kalk stirrer for my atk. It was an emergency change when the pmup died, but it's working so well that I'm keeping it this way for now.

I’m running a autoaqua smart awc on mine. No issues with it.

Lots of great options to explore. I've got a custom sump buy Geo's Reef.

I’m super happy with my Synergy Reef sump. I like all the little bells and whistles like the John Guest dosing connectors, the adjustable weirs, the cable routing etc. I also like acrylic for the sump since I’m less worried about equipment banging around in there.

I'm looking to order the synergy reef CL-34 for my future build. In orange /grey color scheme. I just wish they offered discounts or sale promotions.

I ended up getting a bashsea 4818 which can be found in the link below for my 210

FYI - they are going to discontinue the 26 & 34 series sumps.
I just ordered the CL-26 in orange & grey.

if you are tAling about the black foam it stops bubbles from entering where the return pump is

What...oh dam, you would think the CL 34 is a popular size. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[Deezill]

what size tank are yo putting the CL 34 on?

 

[Blue Ring Octopus]

Deezil sorry the the delay, yeah the black sponge, so the water goes through there first and then into where the return pump is?

 

[Blue Ring Octopus]

So far I like William Henrys custom job and Deezil Bashsea. I have a 240 or so tank and I want a sump that is at least 20" wide or 24" so a 48 X 24' sump. Not many in that size. I want a large volume of water for the return pump and area for the pump to sit inside the sump if I chose. Geo makes that kind of sump. So hopefully by Balck Friday I will have a good idea of which one I want to get. Sumps I own are a Bashsea and a Geo. But they are too small for the new tank.

yes this ensures no microbubbles because my skimmer is in the chamber right before that. I wanted my fuge in the first chamber which seems bigger but it's not. I am going to post pics once I finish plumbing it all the way I hope today.

have a look at my 210 journey thread as I call it. I am moving slowly this time so I don't make to many mistakes like I did with my 150 builds and rushed everything just to get it up and running

My stand is ten feet long so I obviously have a custom acrylic sump of 140 gallons and there's room for Everything. I have supersize skimmer, algae scrubber, two dual reactors, fuge area with live rock, two foam chambers, dosing are and still room for more.
