sump question & suggestions

[wickedfrags]

A pretty nice looking little sump, and acrylic to which is nice.

What specifically are you unhappy with?

Just based on the pictures, a couple things you could consider:

1. If you are having trouble with micro-bubbles being drawn into the display becuase of the skimmer, consider installing a baffle or two maybe 6-8" in front of your return pre-filter (just enough room to get your hand in there easily to remove it for cleaning). Make sure the baffle(s) has ample clearance so the water travels slowly and the water goes under the baffle.

2. Get yourself a little macro algae and light for the sump, promotes pod life in the sump and on a reverse-daylight schedule assists in stabilizing your pH.

Other than that, well you cold consider using some micro bags to keep the sump clean, but overall the set-up looks pretty good. Cheers.
