I'm getting a custom sump made for my ~200g system, 90g display w/ 2 50g frag tanks, and I am trying to plan it around using both marinepure blocks and bricks. I bought the marinepure before reading up on the aluminum leaching and such so I'm going to stick with it for now instead of switching to siporax, if I need to do so in the future it shouldn't be a problem with the sump design.
The idea is to utilize both bricks and blocks to take advantage of the two different ways to utilize them. The blocks will be placed in an area for active filtration and the bricks will be placed in an area for passive filtration.
Here's the sump layout that I've come up with so far. some areas may still need a little tweaking in order to maximize the usable space and get the proper path of flow for the water.
The tan pieces are the marinepure blocks and bricks and the placement I had planned. I've made a couple changes so far so it's not quite drawn to scale.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
