boxboy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 aggreed, this can be sweet. In mine I made some errors lol, I got NO fuge and my stand is so short that the skimmer cap does not have the room to come off lol. I was thiking with a new sump, Ill have the outlet for the skimmer to feed right into a GAC reactor then from that to fuge area Link to comment

Justind823 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I had this sump set up for my old 20L. I kept a mantis in the front side of the tank with the macro and all the hardware and chemical filtration behind the wall. Kind of like an aio system. Link to comment
boxboy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thats a Slick idea. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 These are all so nice looking. Mine is a simple 5.5 under my 12" cube. I made the stand to give me 6" behind the back of the tank to fit my sump underneath. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 This was before I installed everything.... Led's, for the frag area, haven't come in yet.... Section 1: Sump intake, Chaeto & light, inTank Media rack, blacked out wall's, and RKL sensor's. Section 2: Frag racks, rock rubble, heater, Unkown Skimmer. Section 3: Return pump, ATO switch .

Deano Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Here is my 20l sump. On the left is my gravity feed ATO. Holds about 2 gallons. Sitting on top of that is my Kalk drip. Return pump is a mag 7. Skimmer was a RedSea Berlin but I changed it to a cheapo Odyssea, works ok. Refugium light is a wally world 13" T5 undercounter fixture with a 12" T5 6500k bulb. I had a piece of Glo T5 reflector left over from my DIY tank hood. I screwed it to the light fixture to help with the light output. Link to comment
