Sump ?

[Mr.JD]

Hey guys I want input on this setup with a added refugium built in 48x18x16" thanks

What input would you like? I would add a fuge section

Do you have the break down of dims for each chamber? Are you going 4" or 7" socks? The bubble trap looks like your skimmer water level would be pretty high which doesn't leave much room for DT back flow redundancy (power shutting off and DT draining back into sump). What's the preferred water level of your skimmer? If it allows for lower than I'd def go lower. Also if you don't need all that room for skimmer/reactors I'd def add a wall and make a fuge section

 

[Mr.JD]

48x18x16
2-7" socks
60 gal total
37 gal of water
23 gal for water backup. Water level will be 10" for my Aquamaxx cone 3

+1 for the fuge section. I would do that by combining the drain down and filter sock section and then exactly measure the skimmer section for your skimmer size. If you have extra space I would add a section for other media like matrix/chemipure/purigen.

Thanks everyone the Refugium is being added clear acrylic sump with blue baffles to match the Aquamaxx cone 3

 

[Mr.JD]

Done

Nice sump, I like the part where the water overflows into the socks thinking about doing the same thing. Get it running already I wanna see it in action. :]

 

[Mr.JD]

Not yet waiting for my tank and stand.

Nice sump. Does the skimmer match the baffles on purpose? 😄

The miller can is for size reference. And I asked for the blue maybe ill plumb it all with blue PVC

My new sump design will be similar but have the return section in the middle and have a lid made over the filter socks. Along with two drain pipes. Beautiful sump btw.

With the return in the rear I plan on plumbing with PVC so I can have the sump sit in the rear section of the stand and I have a salt creep lid over the socks
