seabass Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 A single baffle to maintain a constant water level for the skimmer, and to separate the return section. There's a heater in it and, of course, the drain pipe. 2 Quote Link to comment

FollyFish Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Sump is rated for a 75 to 100G tank that I have on my 50G LPS dominant reef. It has a filter sock with carbon and phosgard bags, a skimmer rated for 50G (will up size when I have money) and a uv sterilizer for 50G. I modified that back of the main section to create a pod condo/rubble pile. Quote Link to comment

There's a heater in it and, of course, the drain pipe. That's a sump design that I can appreciate. Classic skimmer. That pump is bullet-proof too...I love a Mag on return pump duty. For my own version of that sump, the only change I'd make is that I'd eliminate the baffles. They take up space and limit flexibility. They also prevent a single powerhead from keeping the whole sump clean/feeding the corals. I'd give the baffles' job to the ATO – maintaining a steady water level (+/- 0.125") is already in it's job description anyway. Why pay twice for the same work??? 😉 (In fact that's how the sump on my old system ran for a good ten years....tho I didn't add the powerhead until the last five years or so. Duh.) 1 Quote Link to comment
