Bashsea Sump

[sergifed91]

I know normally the bigger the better. I will have plenty of rock and biomedia in my tank. im setting up a marineland 125 gallon corner dual overflow. i'm looking at the bashsea SMS-3015 smart series sump. will this work for my new DT or should I go the next size up? I have a lead on a used Bashsea sms-3015 smart series sump.. but if I should go bigger then I will look at other sumps also. but the Bashsea looks dang beautiful.

That size should be enough for your tank. The smart series allows you to run either a traditional style sump, or a Triton style sump. The difference between the 2 is where you place your cheato in the 1 or 2nd chamber.

That's going to borderline for that size tank I think. I'd go a bit bigger if you're able.

so you think I should go with the SMS-3615? its the next size up from the SMS-3015

I would... that extra 6 inches will give you more overhead for drain back from the tank when the pump is off.

I'm of the mindset get the biggest sump you can fit. I'm kicking myself for not going larger than I did and I even got a custom Bashsea (based on the SS-60). Allows you to be as flexible as you can be as you grow your reef and your reefing strategies.

I just contacted the person I was going to get the bashse scs 3015. He was going to sell it for 300 and I can get the same sump brand new for 349. Another 50 the next size up. So I'm going with the SMS-3615. I'm just putting in my lifereef skimmer and utilizing my 12 gallon refugium on my current tank as the refugium. The heater and media reactors will go in the first chamber.

I also got the jabeo dcq-10000 return pipe. I'm going with almost the same setup but modified for the return line. Here is what I have now. There at the very top I'm not sure yet since the tank is a dual corner overflow. Putting on a y connector the some pvc then a ball valve for each return line. Thoughts on that.

I have 3 SS-60s all outfitted with Bashsea components - 1 skimmer, 6 media reactors, 1 waste collector, and 4 bio reactors. Loving Bashsea. Let me know if you have any questions.
