Sump Sunday!

[Bayareareefer18]

How do you like the Fiji baffle kit? I strongly thought about it before going with the trigger sump

Love it man!!

This sump was originally built into a sump for my discus tank. I had all baffles custom cut and I way overbuilt it for my needs. I never put it into action. When I decided to go reef I removed it all and got the Fuji cube kit. I love it.

I love the sock holder plate. Love the way the returns spill into a small chamber then flow over the sock plate. Nice adjustment on fuge weir. Very good IMO even though I'm a newbie

I removed the foam in the bubble trap because I noticed pods stuck there.

Speaking of sump Sunday . I have 2 going at the moment.

This is on the 75 Reef Experiment tank Not meant to look pretty . I built this out of acrylic & was very proud on my 1st big acrylic build. It leaks every so often so I have to pull.clean & reseal again. I made the return section entirely too big at the sacrifice of refugium space. Buy hey, I'm learning.

Now this one is a 75 gl sump for the 180 fish only . Again, I made the return way too big. This one I can change with not too much work.

Nothing fancy about these 2, just functional .

Venerable ASM skimmer ..... nice!

That's a clever way to support heaters. May have to 'steal' that one.

ATO container is the trigger 5g in amethyst to match the sump. I noticed that at 4g it begins it bow length wise but not by much.

What size tank is that? I have a 20l and was looking at these kits. Was wondering if they fit Aqueon tanks

@cracker use a weld-on for acrylic. gotta melt the plastic together. silicon will always leak on acrylic sooner or later
