Hello Reefers, I have a question? Do any of you have sumps in a basement at your house for your up-stair displays or are the sumps for your tanks in the bottom of the cabinets. I am setting up a 160 gallon 4ft x 3ft x 22in with built in left back corner drilled bottom overflow. I am thinking seriously about adding the sump in my basement so I can do the water changes from the basement floor. I know i will have to spend the extra money and get a 12 to 15 head pressure external pump. what are your thoughts?? My basement stays a consistent 68 degrees. I'm planning on putting the sump on a 3ft tall stand then plumb it to the upstairs. it is exactly 10ft from my floor to the top of the sub floor of my second story. i need some ideas about what i will need to support the 160 gallon cube? i need pros and cons. the upstairs where i am planning on setting the tank is hardwood floors in need of some refinishing.? lol sounds like i need to spend the cash on refinishing the floor huh? :neutral:
