I always wanted a refugium in my sump as such this design, of cos' also due to my current sump tank is not working very well for me also lor..

if the skimmer pump flow rate is much greater

than the return pump, the compartment will dry(in take from tank)

or u experience back flow ;)

Nope not in my case. The skimmer pump flow rate is not greater than the return pump... not even close... ;)

Hi Frd

Also thinking of changing my sump design.

Any idea how much and where to make?

Not gd with any drawing s/w. If want, can fax yu my 2 cents worth. Much simpler and it shud wrk .

Did some reading these 2 days and it seems most often than not, we skimmed off the bateria and bck into the main tank. Rightfully the flow shud be

Filtered water --> Refugerium --> Return pump --> Main tank

+

--> Skimmer --> Return pump --> Main tank

I hope i the idea rite. Am new and still learning. Any guru care to share?

Thanks

R u going to use a chiller?

If yes i think u should t-off from the chiller pump to ur ref.

So that the the water from the maintank can be skim by the skimmer before reurning to the main tank rather than spiltting it for the ref.

Just my 2 cent.

That what i did for my ref. Here is the pic

the upper pipe is to the chiller n the lower one is for the ref.
