Need help with sumps

[tang daddy]

The thread had a few tanks, I am alittle confused which one you're referring to.

The best thing to do would be to list a size of the tank you want to start out with, next will be the stand. If your handy with a drill and chop saw then you could build a stand, for me I use 2x4 and double it up which is strong but leaves minimal space for a sump. What I am trying to get at is you have to plan this all out. How much room for a sump.

A sump can be as easy and as complitcated as you want it. I've seen sumps out of a square storage bin to CNC acrylic goodness. Again depends on budget... Mine is easy with 2 baffles.

I would suggest skimming through the tank journals reading and looking at pictures. There is lots of explanation to why and how people do what they do. If you want a sump to store equiptment it a full on refuge with pods, corals seahorses or whatever.... The world is yours!

Also I would suggest maybe starting your own journal and there are plenty of people on here willing to share knowledge and good advice to help you every. Step of the way!
