Was curious how your sump/refugiums are set up.. I'm currently using chaeto, flame algae and mangroves with a coralife protein skimmer. I think I have a few too many mangroves cause only a couple seem to actually grow well. Other than that I think it looks cool and does an excellent job on naturally filtering the water.

Looks awesome, mine will be set up that clean one day ha. Do you not use macro algaes?

 

[YodaHart]

Nope. No macro algae. I may add a zoa & mushroom growout area soon in the return pump chamber. The filter socks and closed loop cleanout method keep everything nice and clean.

Here's mine 20gal. No light, no macro just a large skimmer. My dosing setup is in the garage.

lol...thanks everyone!

Here are some pics during the build process









It also helps that I have cabinets on the left and right to contain all the electrical, ATO, and dosing stuff

I need to get an updated pic since I re-did the drains

This is the sump for my 58. Obviously, I could use a new stand and some place to store those filter socks! Aqua C Urchin S, BRS combo reactor, refugium, Sicce return pump.

Yodahart,I was wondering why you would want to put 3 axial fans on your sump.If it was for cooling purposes would it not work better on top of your tank where there is more surface area for evaporation,I can not see how air being blow across the small area where they are located would be of benefit,and more than likely possibly boosting the smell of the skimmate from your skimmer because you would be just circulating the air in that area....Just wondering...

Mine has not seen water yet but the design is to have return sandwiched between skimmer section and refugium section. The fuge side is 12 high and skimmer side is 10 side. This way I can control flow to five side ( slower) and if I want can cut off water to fuge and turn into emergency or QT tank.

looks solid, got any ideas what your putting in refugium?

Here is mine. It's a mess of cords right now, but finally got a DJ power strip; just need to neaten it up a bit.

Can you fit a timer on power strip without it taking up the plug next to it?

 

[magicpenny75]

Here's mine! I think I spend as much time staring at it as I do the tank. More if you ask my enabler...
Auto Top Off is the best thing evar.

Have not gotten there yet, but most likely a mix of macro algaes. For now will probably put some extra live rock since I am going to not put all required LR in main tank.

Sump and remote fuge

 

[joereefer]

75g sump waiting for new tank for months. This'll be the mack when the tank comes in and gets set up, may be a while though.

 

[Robknoxous]

nice stuff joe, Is your Display tank right on the other side of the wall? or does the plumbing have to travel a good distance?
