Pretty plumbing: Let's see those sump setups that are nice enough to display!

[Daniel@R2R]

I really love looking at equipment setups. It's one of those things I tend to nerd out on. And I'm always impressed when people have sump setups that are so nice they're eye-catching! Anybody else agree?

For example, this one by @Anirban is really nice!!

Let's see some more! Show 'em off!!

Qualify? It isn’t complete yet.

I have to wonder how long those sumps look that good...show me a year in!

Not as pretty but I tried

That’s why you have to show it off while it’s still relatively new and shiny.

I want to do this for my new build but how long does it stay like that?

Sorry just seen this lol

Sorry just seen this lol

Mine has been running for 3-4 months. The dry side will only look better one the rest of the equipment is added along the way. The wet side I do try to keep clean as I go, but just like all things will eventually not look totally pristine. I mostly took the time to do it for organization and ease of use purposes. For me, if it’s easy, convenient, and organized I’ll be thorough. If it’s a disaster then I will procrastinate.

Thank man. I learned all these here. In my experience simple sump is effective sump. I tried to put least amount of elbows so that waterflow stay high. There are 2 return pumps for redundancy.

Agreed!
This sump’s a fairly new setup..i still have some cable management to be done.

 

[TigerReef]

Inspired by all the amazing R2R build threads!

Pretty simple and still a work in progress. Ended up needing 1 more 90 to complete the job. White pipe is just for measurements.

 

[currentking]

I am happy with how it turned out.

Ha! Not very pretty 40 breeder. Very basic, skimmer, carx, carbon reactor, filter sock, and return pump, with no baffles but it works, lol.
Heater only for 5-6 months in the winter.
3 liters of eheim substrate pro.
This pic is at 16 months. Very easy to clean too.

 

[myakuel]

also work in progress

 

[Jeffcb]

2 months ago. Should be nasty soon.

 

[iamacat]

I had such high hopes. Now I’m just high

 

[RedReefer]

1 year. I never finished my cable management. Still debating on an Apex.

 

[Fernthereefer]

The first two are a year ago. Last one is in beggining of December.

 

[BZOFIQ]

I am soon to start that phase....i want to see more.
