    Will anyone please post their personal or collection of sump plans and/or photos in this one thread. I see different palns here and there....but having trouble going through so much other info mixed in with it them. I'd really just like to have several to see and go from there to build one.

    I now have a 20 (tall, I think) and a 40 long......

    the 40 might work, if I do away with my Proclear 150 wet.dry completely, which should be ok, for the a sump/refugium replacement.


    thanks a ton

    Check out this thread. I just got one done about 2 weeks ago. I only thing is I would advice putting a channel by the fuge so you can pass the water by at a high rate and add a second input to the fuge with a T-valve so you can slow the flow way down. This way you can keep the return rate to the tank high but slow the fuge way down so it can do it's job. Just make a channel down the back side for water to pass into the pump chamber. Just remember to make the pump chamber big because this is where you will see all your water evaporation.
