Tony's new sump pic
This is my new , self made sump. Constructed from cast acrylic.
Dims are 14'' x 14'' x 32'' water capacity is 14.8 gallons running. It is on a dry run, well...a wet dry run. First chamber is a 200 micron filter sock suspended by a custom bracket. Second is the fuge, notice the cpr fuge lamp up top. Third is the skimmer chamber with the fresh new xp2000 w/ a bubble blaster. final chamber is the return. Cant wait to set it up.

Nice cone skimmer! Personally I would switch the skimmer chamber and the fuge in the order and remove the first section, but that is me. Make sure you have enough volume in the return section for a few days of evaporation. If not you will regret it!

My sump
Correction, I made the sump. I bought the octopus skimmer from fish room.
Iv'e never used a sock but I understand they keep the water polished. If it gets clogged up too fast, I'll buy some extras to have on hand while the others get cleaned. My tank is a 75 mixed reef w/(2) 150w 10k halides and (2) full actinic pc's. Im running a continuous drip top off/ kalkwasser dosing system. The sump is up and running. I'll post some pics. Thanks, Tony
