Sump Help

[edunn]

Hi Smarter reefers than me,
I have a waterbox 7225 and am using the sump that came with the system. My tank has now been up and running for three months and I'm running out of room behind the control board. I can't even fit a waste container for my new trident. I do not have the ability to add a cabinet next to the tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better use the space? Buy a new sump? Smaller reservoir (ATO)?
I am currently fighting algae and elevated phosphates. I added a phosphate reactor today. Fingers crossed. Nitrates 12. Phosphates 0.11.
Kindly,
Evan

I looks nice but if you need room you’ll probably want a smaller sump !

You could move electronics to the dry cabinet door, and knock out the control board from inside the stand… that looks like a second box framed out inside the cabinet, which isn’t a very efficient use of cabinet space!

What’s behind the control panel, Empty space?

If not, your only option is to build up. I’ve seen pics where people place their trident on a shelf at the top portion off the sump cabinet.

Looks like you could put the roller beside the Skimmer . What about the basement ?

Better lighting under the cabinet would help to assist. How are the phosphates being removed?
