Sump/Fuge/Return DIY Build thread / INSTALLED...DONE !!Page 5

Nice build!

 

OK...busy weekend..

pulled the fuge material and water


finished plumbing and painting..The BIGGEST change is the removal of the center post..yup "I got brass ones"..LOL ; )


ready for install..freash water ready and I pumped out the sump and return and have it on the standby also..


Tank in place..



fuge back in order..old sand and old water, letting this settle before I let the flow through it begin.


Water in..pumps working..time to start adding "stuff"


Carbon reactor and heater placed...


Protein Skimmer fired up..so far so good.


This is the before shot... So I would say its a great improvement from the ABOVE photo..But I do have a few details to work out, touch ups..cable management..ATO, etc.. ...so I will be plugging away a bit more...but for the most part..DIY Return/Sump/Fuge Build Completed.
