iball1804 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 37 gallon sump for the 140 gallon Behemoth. Nice sound reducing walls. Actually quite very smart thing to do! Link to comment
Aquanist Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice sound reducing walls. Actually quite very smart thing to do! Those 2 walls eliminate any noise there is. Blank cabinet can easily start "echoing" various humms and such. That thing is dead silent. Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've been sumped! Sump LifeReef Overflow made for the RSM tank, with optional silencer Overflow installed (and running!) Overflow and return J tube top down view. The siphon tube is visible. The sump is running in this pic. PVC thingamajigger that goes from the Mag5 back to the tank, with a ball valve. Thingamajigger installed, the angle was driving me insane Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Cant wait till i can plumb my sump and get pictures of it on here kat how well does the silencer for your overflow work? Do u think it will fit in the single slim life reef overflow? Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Cant wait till i can plumb my sump and get pictures of it on here kat how well does the silencer for your overflow work? Do u think it will fit in the single slim life reef overflow? My overflow is pretty silent, lifereef says that not all installations are noisy to begin with but I got the silencer anyway. As for it fitting in the slim, I have no idea James, if lifereef sells the silencer with the slim then it will fit. Jeff usually calls for a credit card, you could ask him then, but he is very prompt with his email responses. Link to comment

echopiece Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Echo: that is sick! can you tell me what all the chambers are for or what they hold? thanks. Thanks! Far right is drain line/bubble magus NAC 6 skimmer, center chamber holds sand/LR/chaeto/heater, then overflows through another bubble trap and up through carbon/GFO/purigen (removeable basket), then overflows into far left chamber with return pump "rio 1700"/ATO. Here is a video of the my original design: Link to comment
boxboy Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 These are some wicked sump people. Hopefully your sumps can inspire other sump builds. Link to comment

louy99 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 this is my custom sump for my 29g biocube. nothing fancy like the ones above but it works well with my setup. water dumps into my mediabasket through the sump and have a Sicce Syncra 2.0 return pump. found this nice 65w LED bulb at Home Depot for 25 bucks rated 5000K.

CJBuckeyes Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here are some shots of my sump on my ADA 22 gallon (this feels so personal!). The sump is a 20 gallon high. The water feeding to the sump is split in two, with half going to the fuge (which normally has cheato in it) and half to the skimmer. The water is reunited in the center of the sump, and either goes through the media reactor or back to the return tank. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here's my ecosystems sump/refugium I got last winter. Left: skimmer chamber, heater, rio pump for the overflow backup. Middle: fuge with LR and Caulpera (bubble trap) Right: return Chamber with chemi pure elite (I haven't found a better place to put it) Link to comment
