Plumbing my Triton Sump

[Chef Tommy]

My tank is a 75 gallon mixed reef with a 20L used for a Triton sump.

The refugium area is close to 10 gallons which is the largest I could make it to fit the skimmer & return.

I did such a better job with this sump too [emoji4]

It begins with the overflow box I made into a bean animal with smoked glass.

Old sump, out the side door of stand.

Odd moment with no sump!

I'm currently working on dosing to stabilize the parameters so KH is 8.

Had a lot of fun and had to share so maybe other reefers could get some useful ideas.

Nice progress! All that is missing is the FTS ;)

FTS, pretty excited to reboot tank!

Very nice, I'm going to build a triton sump soon. I like how you did the baffle between the refugium and skimmer chamber.

Thanks, I used smoked glass in my prior sump & it really helped to contain algae to only the fuge section. I had trouble with floating macro trying to go over as well so I added the little baffle to prevent it, cool side note is that it acts as a regular baffle helping to remove bubbles from overflow. Got a second plus from it I was not thinking about [emoji4]

My Triton ships tomorrow too!

Received this probe/dosing line holder too from IM off Amazon for $20! It's magnetic which I was happy about.
