I'm curious to see everyone's Sump setups.

I'm running a Diablo DC return pump, Ehiem heater, BM NAC-7 skimmer and a Phosban 550 with gfo. I have cheato algae, live rock and some sand in the center. (trigger systems ruby36 sump)

Need to get a full shot of it running (( which it is currently )).

Here it is when I was leak testing it (( along with the ATO container )), it is 4 feet long.

My 216 liter Reef Cube. I run a Bubble King Mini 180 skimmer, Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon Mini 2500 return pump, a twin set of DIY upflow reactors, Kamoer dosing pumps, a DIY STC-1000 temperature controller and two media bags.

Here is my sump. It's a work in progress but it's one 40b frag tank, one 40b future refugium, one 20g skimmer/filter sock tank, and a final 55 Gallon live rock zone with Diablo 10500 return to the upstairs.
 
This is nice. What size tank is this sump supporting? Wondering what the operational water level is in the frag rack section and how much water drains into the sump when you turn your pump off


Fabricated from a Petco 40B

This is my new LifeReef Berlin sump. Custom sized at 50x22x20h.
Still working on setting it up but here is a pic of the naked sump when i pulled it out of the box.
No covers, bulkheads, filter canisters, etc on it yet.

Wow, some pretty fancy sumps!


I went simply with a 40 breeder sump under a five foot 90 gallon DT. Two drains come into the sump in the back two corners.
On the left is a 7 inch sock and skimmer and one heater. On the right is the refugium. In the middle is the return pump, biopellet reactor, second heater, and pump to GFO/Carbon reactors. Note, no bubble traps.....wasn't needed.
