A remote sump in the basement hopefully. I'm batting a damp basement so I'm trying to remediate that first.

Very interesting build. Will the tank have frames on all the seams like in the computer drawing?

Johnson · Sep 4, 2017

No it's going to be seamless just silicone.

Wow! Even the stand looks awesome. Can't wait to see the tank. Following!

All welded up and painted the stand looks good for now just waiting on the glass company to make the glass. Still need to think of what to use between the tank and the stand. Any ideas I think it's gonna be to heavy for foam.

Alittle hard to see but Im Trying to lay out the sump now. Trying to keep it simple as possible. Water in over 5 filter socks through a bubble trap. Then through the skimmer compartment through another bubble trap then to the return compartment. Anything any one can think of I'm missing???? Or could help?

This looks amazing! Following for sure!! I think simple is best in a sump, so looks good to me!

I am building a new 180 - got a 100 gallon horse trough that will have 50+ lbs. of live rock for a fuge too - I figured you had one in there somewhere!

. Pretty much same set up as you - 44 long for the glass, filter socks into skimmer, flowing into fuge, then return pump.

. Feel like I am on the right track since it is similar to yours!

Yea I have used this set up on previous sump builds no issues so far just nothing of this size usually just 55 or 30 longs
