New 120G tank starting with Triton

[Falcar]

Hey guys:

I wanted to check my sump design with you guys as I'd like to make sure it'll work with Triton method as some of the configurations are not exact.

I've included a very rough diagram of it.

The first chamber is where the drains go to from the tank, it also has an external skimmer attached at that point.
There is an acrylic wall between it and the fuge chamber. It has a wide cutout in the middle of it.

Then there is a standard fuge (amounts to about 12% total volume). Then there is a standard type baffle into an open chamber. I plan on a reactor in here for GFO, etc
Then an external return pump returns the water to the tank.

This is a basement sump.


Thanks in advance!

This will likely work just fine; however, the true triton method has the fuge section before the skimmer section.

Correct. To follow the TRITON Method you want the skimmer positioned after the refugium.
