Lets See Undercabinet Sumps!!

[kdc527]

Hey everybody I am starting a 120 soon and would like to see some pictures of undercabinet sumps if you all have any plans drawn up would love to see them too.

Split drain to 8g sump with slower flow to 6.5g fuge. Micron sock on sump drain. Tunze Nano reactor with carbon behind Tunze Nano skimmer. 'Over'-baffle between sump drain and return pump. QuietOne-1200 chiller-pump on right side of baffle, feeding an Arctica-1/10 chiller. Poseidon-4 return-pump with intake screen. Check-valve (NOT RECOMMENDED) and ball-valve on return-line to control flow and prevent back-flow when pump is off. Unions (white in photo) allow for disassembly and maintenance of plumbing and removal of sump.

I've also added a flood alarm, but it's not pictured here. I highly recommend one.

I will also be adding a temp alarm soon. This is particularly important with my setup, in part because I am using a separate smaller pump to feed the chiller, rather than splitting my return line.

Tswifty, is that CO2 on the right side of the first photo?

Looks good guys. Mine is not as clean cut but gets the job done.
Under the tank is the sump with filter sock and skimmer. You see a small pump (blue / green thing) in first section that pumps to Carbon and GFO that is behind the tank. Then it pumps back to fuge section. Return in middle. Behind the tank are the power strips for controller, ATO water, and Kalk reactor. Cords are labeled on the strips. Had to go behind tank due to limited space under tank. You can't see behind the tank from the main viewing area. Controller display is one front of tank and can cut off anything so I don't have to get behind the tank very often.

Yes, there is a 5lb CO2 tank located in the back of the stand, and the accompanying calcium reactor sits in front of it.

Aquarium requirement...

- GFCI
- Surge Protectors
- SMOKE ALARM

I have 4 power strips and an inverter with battery. I'm afraid to even plug in a small fan at this point. Mounted a smoke alarm directly above it all. It helps me sleep at night.

Yea. But only water behind the tank the tank is the covered Top off and the carbon and GFO reactors. Plus not a lot of room behind tank. Its not as bad as it looks.
