New to hobby and would like help with sump.

[T. Skiff]

I have a 125 gallon tank. My stand is 19.5 inches wide 61.5 inches long. On the inside is 16.5 inches wide and 44 inch long. I would like to have a skimmer section as well as a refugium section in my sump. Any suggestions?

Have you looked into the Trigger Platinum series? I don’t have one but I may just have to get one for my new build. Haven’t decided yet.

You have plenty of space to run a nice size sump! Make sure whichever sump you choose that it has 3 sections and also make sure you have space left for an auto top off container.

Are you looking to buy or build your own sump?

I was ready to pull the "trigger" on the Trigger Emerald 39 but they have been discontinued and I am noticing a lot of trigger sumps going out of stock. Makes me nervous if I need a replacement part in the future. Or how the company is doing.

My recommendation is Just to get one with an automatic filter roller (Clarisea specifically). Makes reefing so much easier.

As far as I know the company is as healthy as it can be in these times. I’ve been in contact with them regarding the platinum series sumps recently as well. My guess on the fact they are hard to come by would be people like them and buy them lol.

And that is why I recommend the platinum right there lol. Thank you! Hahaha
