Wow impressive sump !! It must be one of the nicest I've seen so far on RC !

Thanks,
Ginzo

school is always first, but if you get suspended or drop out than reefkeeping can be your job, lol..keep it up

I hope it wont happened lol Somehow, school will always be my first priority

VERY NICE!! How much did that sump run you? Can you tell us how it works on the design you came up with?

Woaah
I love custom acrylic sump

I was thinking how to put the 'réservoir' of water change ...
All in one aquarium is always complicated

Thanks! 2 of my 4 overflow will drain directly in the refugium which is the upper part of the sump, there will be only cheato and sand. Then, by 2 overflow there will go in the main sump which will contain mangroove and from there will go back in the tank by my dart pump. Nothing complicated, i just needed to play with my space and that where i came up, having my sump and refugium just over it The probe holder is the grey part. I am afraid of getting too much microbubbles, if so, i will need to find a way to minimize that.

Oh the reservoir is actually not include in the sump, i just mentionned since you can see a part of it in the first picture.

Great build so far! How much water does the sump and refugium hold? What else (other than mangroves) are you planning on putting in the sump?

Thanks!

The water and sump makes about 150G in total. I will have in the refugium cheato and a dsb, mangroove on the bottom part of the sump. That will be it

You can also go to www.aquariumcomputer.com but you will need to translate the site.
