skarz Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just finished my redesign last night. From left to right, filter sock, refugium, return pump. Trying to keep it simple. Any feedback? One person on another site suggest that the first baffle either have a gap underneath or have a gap in the middle because as it is there would be insufficient flow through the refugium. What are your guys' thoughts on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hozer21 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 IMO it looks good and workable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavis Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Are you going to add a skimmer to the first compartment? If so, you want the weir from the first compartment a little taller than the second weir so the water level doesn't change where the skimmer is located.

skarz Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Hey gents. The sump is about finished curing and I'm making finishing touches. I am not positive I'm going to leave the pot scrubbies like this but I want some kind of mechanical filtration. I put silicone pot holders in the return chamber to reduce vibration and also nonskid pads under the sump to further reduce vibration. Any last minute comments?

youcallmenny Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Your sump intake area reminds me of a ball pit. That's an interesting idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
