wanareef Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Started on my sump that will go under the new 180gal I will be building soon. Just some pix's as it's not finished yet. it's a little overkill using 3/4" for the sock holder, but I had a scrap piece and it was about the right size this skimmer, I built about a year ago uses an Askol pump, with a 10" cast tube, I had to build the sump around this thing dual heater rack in the fuge area, been doing a lot of reading on heaters as most are not fully submersible. Always liked Jager heaters. Got these from Garrett and the probe holder, calcium, temp and ORP The sump is 50"L x 24"W x16"T x 3/8"thick, the difference areas are skimmer area, fuge and then the return area. There's a adjustable ATO bracket not attached to the sump yet and that will be in the return area. (behind the heaters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smann Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Nice work, looks really good. I like the probe holders, question on which ones you will have, I placed mine on individual holders, if I remember the instructions said to keep the about 6" apart Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Good question Steve, I'm not sure, it's the AquaControler II ancient model but still working. I'll have to ask them. I've only used the PH and Temp and will be adding ORP. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
