Sump Plans + Week Three Update
The new sump designed by the sump master is going to be a kickass piece of kit too!! This pic is from the back of the sump, left is overflow and skimmer section and to the right of that is return section and pre-return filter socks. Far right is the frag section which is about roughly a third of the sump!!

This is from the front of the sump. The funny reverse looking L-shape section underneath is actually the top-off storage tank! Works out to be about 32L and means I don't have to waste space with a section for it :)

Top down gives you some ideas too, second chamber will be higher flow matrix and low flow super anaerobic matrix will live under the frag racks :)

Tank is doing really well :) Still topping up manually even though the tunze is in the tank and I just need to put the pump in RO :p haha I haven't tested any levels but all the corals are open, growing and colouring up really well! The fish are happy and getting fat too, I'm feeding gouble what I was in the cube to get some better health and happiness from them and also in preparations of having more fish to feed in the tank lol

That looks like quite an interesting sump set up.
I'm hoping it works out as well in real life as it does in my mind! haha

Pretty clever putting the RO there. Just dont drop anything in there :dead
I think I may have to get a lid for it knowing me :rage

Wow that RO section blows my mind, so simple but ingenious!
Sump looks the goods.
It blew my mind as well when I was chatting about it haha just such a huge space saver as well!

Very clever with the RO section!!
The man is the Sump Master haha
