sump design
ok so we had to design a sump , this is right up our alley and we got to work and drew something up
these were the plans we made:
basically our down pipes from the external overflow are plumbed into the chamber marked drain entry form display , water then flows over the baffle and onto a 7" filter sock try , when the socks are running normal water flows under the next baffle and when they clog water flows over the notch and into the fuge , after the socks the water flows through the refugium and then into the skimmer section , through some bubble traps and into the return. we have added a small ATO in the back corner as well some dosing chambers for vinegar, alk , cal and mg
there is an acrylic cover for both the ATO and dosing chambers with holes drilled for lines
will post actual pictures of our sump and how it turned out next
