Wht's the separate filter box at the right of the sump? Top up?

Impressive design!!! :bow::bow::bow:

Thanks bro RD and Hammy... I am very pleased with the sump :)

Bro Lyz77, the right compartment is actually the DSB chamber. the white base is actually the Plenum (not complete yet). More to the right is the bubble counter :P

The pump you see inside the DSB chamber belongs to the right most compartment... for my 1/3hp Arctica... it's an Aquabee UP3000 :)

I have to confess... I overspent on the sump... the piping/union/valves alone costs more than $750 :pinch: I think my tank will have a very high "scrap" value ;)

Finally arrive! Nice setup. The glass for ur DSB looks abit short leh. U not worry sand all over? Maybe i am wrong cos cannot see the right side with the tinted glass.

The chamber allows for around 5" of DSB, will probably use both Live Sand and Live Aragonite (coarser). So the coarser Live Aragonite on surface section will not be stirred up so easily. Will have to discuss with Steve further on this as I will be building another glass tank (Phase II) next to Phase I... currently in design stage... probably will incorporate a large DSB there also.

When you put your LR in your tank, plz show some step by step Photos.

Do we just stack the LR each other or do we use the glue or silicone? :rolleyes:

Plz dun mind my stupid questions..! :P

No question is stupid bro... only simple or difficult questions :lol:

For your question ah... a difficult question actually :lol: I will definitely post a step by step pictorial updates for you :)

If the LR pieces are large enough, I will try to avoid epoxy :) Will see how... probably will happen end next week if everything goes according to plan :)

Bro... $70.00 a month is still a lot coz it will double within 5 years to $140.00 :shock::shock::shock: I am still trying to bring down the costs... trying hard :)

A top view of my overflow comb... rock solid construction... the euro-bracing also acts as a barrier to stop jumpy fishies from exploring my sump :P Notice the same black tinted 10mm glass here?

Note: Left = main tank, Right = overflow box... do not be confused by the reflection of the overflow pipe.

that means the water will be filled almost to the brim.

Nope... the slits are actually 2" high... probably will leave 1" gap... better not to touch the bracing :)

bro jervis, how high of the water level of the BM segment in your sump, you mentioned the ideal water level of BM is 6"~8". But, look at your is more lower then 6", is it correct?

If it was, why?
