sump

Plumbing a 75gallon display tank and I have a 1500gph pump and 1 inch drains. My question would be, is it best to do 1inch or 3/4 drain with 3/4 bulkhead lock line. Trying to have the best flow less pressure loss

How's everyone doing, So I have a IM 50 Lagoon AIO. I want to take out the build in filtration and add a synergy reef shadow overflow V2. That means I would be looking into a sump now. I have the APS stand and was wondering what you guys would get for the sump? I would really like for the...

Trying to clear up some space in the garage. I am in the Orlando area, local pickup only, PM for details. 5 large red mangroves: the oldest is over 2 years old and the other 4 are around 1.5 years old. Two of the mangroves have branches. They are in mud that is watered with fresh water. Asking...

Hi Guys, new to R2R, but a long time lurker. I have been using this overflow for about 2 years now with no trouble, so I figured it was time to show it off! It will overflow about 2-300gph to my sump, and will automatically start and stop when the water level rises above the baffle just before...

So, long story short I have everything that comes with a WB Reef 70.2 system other than the stand. I had quite some issues with the original order getting to me with a complete nondamaged stand that WB sent out a whole new system freighted. I've water tested both the sump and display tank with 0...

I went in a different direction in my build from over the summer and ended up not using this. So it is effectively brand new, only had water running in it for about 48 hours. Had thought I might use it in another application, but need my garage space more than a backup sump at this point :p...

I currently have a IM Fusion 20 about 3ft off the floor. I’m planning on adding a sump for additional water volume, clean look(hiding equipment), and a good sized Refugium for nutrient export but mainly for copepods. I cant/don’t want to drill the tank so a hob overflow box seems to be my best...

So recently i set up my new 120gal tank, plumbed it all myself. Drain hole drilled called for a 1 1/2" but hole was cut wrong had to use 1 1/4" for my drain piping which the bulkhead was almost impossible to find by the way. The return was correct and is 3/4". My issue is that even though i have...

What’s up reef2reef I took a little break for a while but I’m back!! So my next project is too hopefully set up a sump for my 29 gallon tank. First thing I don’t want to drill my tank so I am planning on buying a overflow the one I am interested in is the PF-300 overflow perfect for my nano...

I am thinking of buying the Octo Aquatics Red Sea Reefer 170 baffle kit to divide the sump where the skimmer sits into a refugium on one side. https://octoaquatics.com/product/sump-baffle-kit/ Question 1: which side should I make the refugium, and which side should I make the skimmer? (Picture...

I just got my aquarium set up a couple days ago it’s a 60 gal cube, I’m pretty new but I’ve got some experience although I’ve never had my own tank. I’ve got a sump and a hang on the back filter which I’ve never seen anyone do. I’m still working on my sump a little so I got the hang on just to...

Recently moved and I have no good sturdy place to put my fluval evo 13.5g tank. I am looking for a cabinent stand in particular, but I was actually hoping to put a 10 gallon tank hidden inside of the cabinet (a sort of quarantine or rearing tank). I am currently not able to find anything that...

I've always used AIOs when it comes to my saltwater tanks. So, this is my first system that I've setup myself from top (40b drilled w ATO) to bottom (Fijicube sump w 2 filter sock holes, the usual temp and heater etc holes, and five chambers). I have a question, possibly two. My sump setup has...

So I finally won the rights to a few feet of space in my office lol... wife let me get rid of a piece of furniture. 3 ft tank seemed like a perfect fit so I have been bouncing between ordering a planet cristaline, innovative marine 75 int, reefer 300xl. Still may go that route, but wanted...

Not up to date with the latest Tech do I do old school overflow with sump or something new, maybe an all in one system? Can I get some pointers. Thanks,

I'm looking in to building a 20 high aump for my 45 tall. Would an acrylic sheet 18 in x 24in x .080in be strong enough for the build?
