I'd sure love to see pics of your sumps in action. - Page 2

I don't have a sump yet but do have a fuge, here's the whole system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZZUc4rkrhs

any reason you went with two single reactors opposed to a dual reactor?

Anyone know where you can buy that type of enclosed lighting fixture for over the refugium area? Would home depot or lowe's carry something similar?

Yes. With the separate reactors you can set the flow thru each one individually. I can dial in my GFO so that it's just tumbling, and I can get a nice slow flow thru my carbon reactor. With the dual reactor you only get one flow rate thru both. It's not absolutely required but for a couple more bucks it seemd worth it to me.

Here is mine. Sump and wet equipment above and electrical in a sealed area under that.

Lynnmw1208 · 03/17/2011, 10:09 AM

Here's mine. Simple but it works! The power strip I like because you can cover outlets you're not using to prevent moisture. I got it at Best Buy. Also has that master control blah blah lol.

I love my skimmer too! Cheap but works!! one day worth of skimmate in pic. It's the eshopps.

thanks Lynn, great power strip and skimmer, really skimming!

Up for more pics. I'd especially love to see smaller setups. I'm trying to decide how to cram what I need under my new 60 cube.

Here is under my 120: (this has since been taken down for a makeover)

pmrossetti · 03/26/2011, 04:45 AM

Hey Enjoy,what kind of skimmer is that?

hey ya go.....

cheers

pmrossetti · 03/26/2011, 06:14 AM

great shots!!

Hey doakota1,
How's that Sicce pump?

johnnyb05 · 03/26/2011, 10:03 AM

heres you go.

trmiv · 03/26/2011, 04:32 PM

It's amazing to me how creatively and cleanly you guys have packed equipment into these under stand areas. Nice work. My new setup is a 60g cube that will have a 15g sump with just a skimmer in it. The electrical will go on the wall opposite the sump. In order to have everything I want for this tank I'm building a second shorter stand next to my stand that will house my top-off reservoir and a 10g refugium that will drain back into the sump. I hope I can make it even a fraction as nice as most of these setups.

Yours is one of the most efficient uses of space I've seen. Wow you've got a ton of stuff under there! That electrical setup you've got is great. How do you get that skimmer cup off though?
