Diy sump for a 55 gl

Coralgurl · #1 10-24-2011, 05:12 AM

I'm going to keep looking into a sump, but likely going to leave it for now. I realized today I wasn't maintaining my filter properly and this is likely why my tank looks the way it does. Will see what happens over the next while. I did look at smaller tanks for a sump and I don't know if it's worth it.

I did pick up a vertex ro unit today, working on getting it set up.

Awesome, I would look into auto shut offs so you don't flood your place (I know from personal experience... and I never learned

)

Great suggestion, thanks. Currently debating on where to install it, basement, laundry room (main floor), kitchen sink....I eventually want a bigger tank, so future planning is important.....

I suggest picking an auto top off like tunze and using like a rubbermaid or small tank for reservoir. I have a tank and float valve in case i forget to shut it off, nothing like being too safe.
