I said I was never going to upgrade but I saw someone’s 120 gallons tank and fell in love.
So now I’m contemplating the idea of changing my sumpless 75 gallons (getting tired of fiddling with equipment in DT) for a 100-120 gallons DT + sump.
I’m really scared of getting a sump as I’m afraid it’s going to leak or need fixing and I can’t do plumbing, don’t have tools and I am overall weak and don’t have strong hands. I am afraid I wouldn’t have the knowledge to stop a leak in the plumbing if need be and the house would flood…. Maybe that’s just a bad idea in my case, or maybe I’m worrying too much and overthinking this ?
I also never had a tank without a center brace, so this scares me a bit too. Is Euro brace a solid choice ?
Is the sump okay with those chambers ? Should I have less ? More?
Anyways, here is the proposed system. I don’t know anything about any of it so I would really appreciate advice from experienced reefers. These guys can do custom made so I can probably ask for different set-ups. They let you provide drawings too.
I would have them install the whole thing but I need to feel comfortable with maintaining and fixing little quirks if need be.
Thanks !
