Who wants to start first ?

I'll go. Acrylic sump, 28x14x14 I think. I customized it with a partial baffle to direct flow to the Tunze 9010 and a separate fuge side. 8" RDSB in the fuge, now also holding chaeto. Also have added a second media reactor for carbon (first for phos) fed into the fuge by an MJ 400. You can see my DIY ATO bin, run with a Tunze Osmolator and DIY calcium dispenser to dose Kalkwasser. Eheim 1262 return pump is next to the feed baffle under the fuge return and runs through the chiller to a split return on the tank.

Very nice work. :congrats:

Barometer,

You had a really nice sump there. Is that DSB helps you with the nitrate ?

anybody else ?

 

[barometer]

thanks guys,

David, the RDSB is still experimental IMO. It's been running about 6 months now with no issues. I had read some great reviews of guys doing the 5g bucket RDSB and thought why not do it in the fuge. I have yet to test anything but 0 nitrates on this system, but have no idea if that's attributed to the RDSB. Still gathering data and evaluating

that is one very clean looking sump/fuge. great job on hiding wires, very impressive.

Really interested in this thread! I am building a new stand and sump and would like to get some ideas!

 

[revhtree]

Hey barometer nice sump!

What camera did you use and what post processing? Those pics look almost surreal!

 

[barometer]

Thanks again,
just a Rebel XT with stock lens I think. Processed in PS. The lighting is strange down there, especially with the fuge light on, so that's just how they came out

Now I know I'm not the only one with a sump.....bust out the pics guys

[ssericz]

bad picture... sump was too small to fit a fuge so the fuge sits on top in a custom 3gallon box... 6" dsb, cheato ball about the size of a basket ball... mag 7 return pump... 4" sock... pretty much it... chiller is outside of the stand... i need to clean up the left side of my stand lol

 

[tangreefkeeper]

[tangreefkeeper]

Dave, since you started this thread lets see your sump

He didn't have one since he never set up the large tank. The word "for sale" is in his head.
