New DIY Sump

Here is my new acrylic sump/refuge built by bigfalcon36.

Old sump next to the new one:

Sweet. Hows the ASM mini working for you? Ive been thinking about getting one.

Can't tell it in the pic above, just cleaned it and haven't turned it back on yet, but it is doing very well. I really like it.

Here is a pic of the skimmate I'm getting. I think I might be running it a little wet.

Looks good. Once I get my sump finished I might get one and see how it works.

What kind of bulb is that in your light?

It's a 6500K compact flourescent from Wal Mart. It's a Lights of America one. My WM had 2 different models with different wattages, I got the higher wattage model, although I can't remember now what the wattage is.

I've got to figure out a better way to mount it above my refuge. On my old one I was able to just clamp it to the side of the tank, that won't work on the new refuge.

Re: New DIY Sump

Nice. I want a sump badly, but I'm not sure if I am going to do one yet. I just don't have the room under my stand for one and I would have to run some hoses around into a closet....

This is the one I purchased at Wal-Mart and use on my sump, I'm sure it's the same.
