Sump / Refugium Combos

Myka · #1 03-18-2008, 11:43 PM

I need to design a sump for a cube tank, and I want to be able to incorporate a refugium into it. If any of you guys have a sump/fuge combo thing goin on can you post pics please.

Here you go Myka,

I'm pretty happy with how things turned out considering how little room I have. I don't have problems with micro-bubbles and my algae is slowly starting to take off now that I have the right K bulbs.

Here's one I built before moving. Those dividers are UG filter plates.

This is it in use. Pic was taken after it was set up. (So clean!). Have Chaeto in it now.

HTH.

Try Melevs. He has probably made more sumps then just about anyone I know. His site has a ton of good ideas.

Thanks for the pics everyone! Ya, I've already checked out Melev's. My idea is a bit abstract, and I haven't seen it done like I am thinking. Maybe I'll just wing it and see how it works.

What's your idea? I have a non-conforming sump\fuge that I built using ideas extracted from Melev's site. I've sent you a PM with pics so you can have a look.

Cheers,
