some nice sps @ AM..frag from the display tank..

Thanks bro blackcell..I will b emptying out my tank n sump later in the afternoon..with only my right hand can get wet..hope all goes well..

Ok bro..my explanation..if the refugium is not that big it can b under the DT n artificial light can support..unless the refugium is bigger or to enjoy natural light than its to b at different location n not to b under the DT..I do love to have a refugium that enjoy natural light outside my DT area but my CO will sure kpkb..haha

Ok bro..I think ur remote sump shd make it bigger than ur DT for it not to b under ur DT.. if its not, the space under ur DT will b wasted..without fan or chiller compressor, the rest of equipment noise is softer than the overflow noise..so noise isolation being a reason is something to think of..refugium dun enjoy natural light and have artificial light and for it not to be under the DT is something to think of too..having such long pipes and to have it concealed underground is indeed risky..but in order to have a bigger sump is worth it..its something to think of too..the calculation of flow is a concern too..will the overflow match ur pump flow with all the long pipes is something to think of too.. Just my humble honest opinions..sorry if I confused or offended u..happy reefing

Ok bro, I got what u mean..the remote sump will be a refugium rather than a normal sump that house skimmer, reactor, pump, etc.. Skimmer cannot put under sunlight.. Its good in a sense that the plants like mangrove required light n sunlight is the best to them.. Gravitation flow will b the highest concern here.. DT flow to refugium then to sump, back to DT.. Try not to use siphon method as there is chances of air lock.. For the refugium under sunlight, do note that water temperature is another concern too.. Maybe a rough floor plan will let reefers here understand better n advise according.. IMHO, hidden pipe is nice to have but nasty if problem arise.. Happy reefing

I use anti chlorine..

Nice n neat setup.. Looking at the sump water level, wonder if pump power down, can the tank hold the back flow water..Coz I see the level like quite high..happy reefing

Par38 lighting up my QT (60cm x 30cm x 36cm) on the floor n its shinning on top of tank at 2.5ft above floor level.

1st of all, what is ur tank size & specs? IMHO, what noise u r isolating?..Usually sump tank will b below the DT inside a cabinet. Equipment like skimmer, return pump will b running in the sump. I would say little/almost cant hear noise from this 2 equipment. The most loud noise for me is my cooling fan. If u are running chiller, the noise will come from the compressor. Drop in coil will b best as compressor can b installed elsewhere. For ease of maintenance, is it the remote sump to b at a wet area? It is good to have it at a wet area but if problem arise like what bro angmo say: Boom..sky fall.. More maintenance instead. For piping, problem like air lock is almost possible given that water need to flow up into the remote sump using siphon method. Like to ask for the tank below DT is it a tank just for the return pump? Given the return pump below DT, why not have the sump below? There will be many ??? for this remote sump. The best is to have a fish room. "1000 Gallon 3D Hole in the wall" in members tank & specs will b a good read. If I were to do a remote sump, there will b no tank below DT. The DT can be very deep given it can be above floor level like 1ft. If not, I don't see why sump tank is not below DT. Happy reefing..

My Jebao DC6000 running since 7 Oct 2013 and still running fine..

For my 1.5yr FOWLR, I have been topping up with tap water (de-chlorine)..no algae bloom.. For coral wise, I dunnoe.. Happy reefing..
