Remote sump reefer 625 xxl?

[m0jjen]

Hi! Was wondering if anyone has done a remote sump on a reefer 625 - 750XXL? If so please post pictures! The sump will be on the same floor so not going down a level

My plan is to convert the standard PVC and drilling the back of the cabinet. As i see it option 1 (red circles) would suit me the best. Problem is that the back part of the cabinet is two parts, most of the strenght of the upper part side to side will be negated

Any thought and or examples would be great!

How close to the tank were you thinking of placing the sump? (I'm assuming you're going to use the stock Red Sea sump - just relocate it elsewhere? Do you have an aerial view?

Its just behind a wall so say 50 cm away, i will not use the stocksump i believe. Its gonna be a big system with two fragtanks, 1 large bin (like brute) thats about 650 litre. So fragtanks + bin will hold 900 litres total and i doubt the stock sump will handle the volum coming back at a poweroutage to good.

You could probably just reverse the stock plumbing and run it out the back - unless the hole in the wall is lower than the current cutout in the stand.

that wont work since the pipes need a broader opening in the bench hence i need to drill anyway
