Pictures of their sump set up, I.e. the plumbing what the sump looks like etc...

Going to do the plumbing on my sump tommorrow, and planning on picking up my Skimmer from J&L, and my return pump from Big Als....... And I have my glue, and primer and 10ft length of pvc, plus my elbows( i think I have enough elbows) and valves.... Just looking for a good 'drawing' or picture of how ppl's sumps are set up.....

=)

Thanks

Something like this?

I would suggest a set of baffles after the skimmer to remove microbubbles from the return pump though.

Here is a shot of my sump/plumbing not very basic, but the design is simplistic. Water comes in on the left and out on the right.

See those are the types of things I am looking for, Thanks....

Hmm no must start to cut and measure exact lengths of pvc piping don't want to go another 10ft length because I messed up once or twice

Pipe is cheap, when you start messing up valves and fittings.....it can get a bit pricey.

Well my system won't be even close to as elaborate as that considering I am using a 55g tank for my first FOWLR and a 33g sump..... I find it strange that my sump is almost as large as my tank but whatever, I guess that just means more water, from what I udnerstand... =) and I'll only be using about 75% of the 33g anyways
