conoyo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Hi, I am new to this forum. This is my first time to have a sump which i am not sure whether the sump design is correct. Only got limited space therefore the size of sump would be 22" x 14" x 16". Skimmer: deltec sc 1350 internal protein skimmer Pump: Eheim Universal Pump 1250 x 2 Chiller: Not confirmed yet. Main tank: 30" x 18" x 18" Wavemaker: Tunze Nano Wavebox 6206 Light: not confirmed yet Draft some picture to show the concept, Please help to comment and give advise. Thank you.

RomeoJuliet Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Refugim is too small, it will not have any impact .

conoyo Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thank you RomeoJuliet. Have extend it a little bit which is the limit on the tank size, unless i use one pump to chiller then back to main tank, which could give a little bit more space.

RomeoJuliet Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ideally u have 4 compartments. First is for the mechanical filtration, can be sponge or filter sock. Second, for the skimmer and other equipments. Third for the refugim and lastly for the return. The pump for chiller can be sucking the water out from the 2nd compartment and output at the return pump section. If your return pump compartment is too small, you will face frequent water top up. Hope this clarify.

conoyo Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks, RomeoJuliet. I think i need to look for some smaller equipment for my sump then i could redesign it. Looking to change skimmer to Deltec MC 500 any recommendation on return pump which is smaller ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
