Thanks Marlin. The water goes from the skimmer chamber through the stand pipe and into the return chamber. The return pump supply's the two reactors, the refugium, and the display. Once in the refugium the water overflows back into the return chamber. Hope that makes sense!

I see the return after the refugium but don't see the stand pipe can you post a closer picture. I would like to make the same sump for my 165 drop reef.
Love the water change brutes as well very well done.

wow talk about a redo reno on the sump area and lights well done man. love to look so much cleaner. you must be proud I would be.

here a ADDY BOY for your great clean up.:razz:

sorry your tank went through some issues when you were away.....good to hear that it seems to be on the mend.....your equipment upgrade sounds like it was a crap load of work but it looks killer and like it was worth the effort

Tank is running great! Marlin if your still interested in the sump design pm me and I can send you the sketchup design. Enjoy some photos!
