so I recently bought a used 90 gallon cube with a 30 gallon deep blue rimless sump .. I know a lil bit about sumos but I’ve never seen a sumo like this ... it has no baffles or anything ... so my question is how do I set it up as a sump? When I purchased it it was already taken down and in pieces so I didn’t get to see how he had it setup... I do t know if it makes a difference but for the time being I’m only interested in fish I’m not looking to do corals quite yet

Welcome to R2R. Post some more pictures once you get it cleaned up so we can see what all you got there in the huge pile. Score!
 
Howdy
Looks like it holds water. He prob had the skimmer in the middle and some bio media in there. Either the balls or bricks. Not sure what he had those hanging tabs for.
 
I’m not sure either I know there’s a skimmer there’s a ATO and a phosban reactor once it’s all cleaned up and organized I will post everything that is there to give a better idea
