SRC Member gunzo Posted March 28, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 28, 2006 getting my sump redone to include things I like .. Ideas, thoughts and/ or suggestions ?? the restriction here is it's a 3' with a width of only 1.5' .. return pump position is fixed since I'm too lazy to move the pipes BTW Refugium is just an idea I'm toying with .. since I much prefer the DSB.. Thanks oops .. sorry .. the flow direction is under the bioring into the quarantine area, over to DSB behind.. then to the skimmer.. then to the return pump back to main tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Cool design and technical drawing... em I'm no expert in this field but some ppl will keep the refugium last so that any capecod that breed in there will be transported directly into the tank for constant feeding... for Anthias especially... that's my only 2 cents Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member gunzo Posted April 30, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 30, 2006 from conceptual visualisation to actualisation of concept slightly smaller sandbed area due bubble trap (didn't even know of such things) just a problem.. forgot all the hoses to and from cooler.. so sump a bit too big for my cabinet.. now volume of sand vs the bucket sand increased by about 15% waiting for it to stabilise before removing my bucket of sand.. found a great place to collect sand and snails and other stuffs when tide is out even fish and hadoni.. no one goes there to beachcomb.. just fishing! (yub great fishing spot too) secluded quiet and nice thanks to iAquatic for helping out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member beaver Posted May 1, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 1, 2006 Halo, What grain size do u use for the DSB? I am also thinking of setting up a similiar sump layout, minus the refugium. Thanks Beaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
