Everything looks amazing! I can't wait to see it get wet!

Thanks!! Me too..LOL

One of the many things I really like about the sump is thats it made out of ABS plastic. ABS is impact resistant, tough and very light. Also it's properties make it resistant to UV where fading and cracking can occur.

I may have to think about Aquabox for my next sump...that and colored PVC

spspirate · Jul 27, 2014

I like the colored PVC but probably not for this build maybe grey or white flex. A sump like this will really make things organized so I can focus on the corals and not have to worry about clutter.

Do you already have what you are dosing with and the ATO ready to go too?

that is a really nice sump. the material really makes sense.

spspirate · Jul 27, 2014

No I don't. I'm going to see what my rate of evaporation is but most likely I'll invest in a ATO. AquaBox makes a 10 gallon ATO Box that would fix snug under the tank. Looking at the Tunze Osmolater to go along with it.

Thank you! Never had a designer sump before looking forward to watching it in action. The ABS is some sweet stuff

Man that sump looks fantastic really like the orange adjustable baffle! May have to take mine out and see if they can put one in mine.

Thanks Bobby! The adjustable skimmer wall is kind of fun!..LOL Thought we throw some color down there. With the LED's it almost "glows"...pretty cool.
