No sump

I have a wet/dry going now. I going to take out the bioballs and run it empty with the skimmer and heater in there. How does that sound? But, it's not a reef tank yet. Just fowlr.

I built my stand to fit a 20 gallon, but later after removing the fuge I found I only needed 10 gallons of it, so I replaced that with the 10 gallon.

do you have more pictures of your sump? Do you have your skimmer in there?

No I don't have more pictures of when it was still a 20 gallon fuge. The skimmer is in there, in the beginning I used a seaclone and you can see it hanging off to the right side of the sump. Water comes in on the far right, compartment where the skimmer gets it, then it goes into the fuge for the algae to have a wack at, where it overflows into the sump section where the return pump is, and the autotopoff sits.

I have since changed that to a 10 gallon sump where the turbofloater 1000 sits, there is no longer a fuge.

the 1st year my tank ran i had no sump....yet really wanted to get things off the back of the tank, so i decided to add one.
This is a NOVA 22g sump with Bio-balls removed. when i 1st put it up in 03-04.

Fit perfectly under the 55g tank....i will say though i had the stand built 15in wide instead of the standard 12in....

 

[Racenrich]

Figured i toss in my current sump for ya....in the basement now!
56g total volume with my old sump as prop tank.

nice racenrich, i like your current 3 chamber setup ala melev with the growout tank.. looks very clean.. i'd like my 'under' setup to look like that sometime.. though no ability to make it go to another floor.. oh well..
