Question

[CLFishies]

Hi, has anyone set up a sump for the Fluval 32.5 saltwater tank? If so what is the set up in the tank? I have the sump that was used for a 55 gallon tank, and I have 2 pumps. One is a Mag Drive 500 gph’s and the other one is a Quite One 3000 780 gph’s. Any ideas? Thanks for any inf

Sounds like a large sump for the size tank

I agree with @vetteguy53081 ... feels like using a V8 engine in a Smartcar. I do not have that tank, so I'll defer to those that do but welcome to the group. I hope you get it all worked out.

Welcome!!!

How big is the sump? I have a 10g sump on a 50g tank... some have a 30-40g sump on a 55g tank.

I really don’t remember how big it was, but we used it on a 55 gallon saltwater tank. I think is definitely too big, and so might the pumps, but they are what I have.

Hello and welcome to the channel.

Depends on how the sump & plumbing could be approached. If the glass on the fluval is not tempered & your ok with drilling glass, then you would simply need a couple of bulkheads, plumbing supplies & a 12 pack. If the glass can not be drilled, it will get a bit more complicated in getting the water to drain into the sump & return it back into the main display but it’s doable. All depends on the best & safest approach. If you really want to add a sump, start with finding out if the glass on the fluval is not tempered. If not tempered, look into how glass is drilled.
