I could never have a sump like that. I would clean it 2 times a day, and remove once a month to get rid of coralline. Too pretty for me lol. You don’t even want to see my sump lol.

All sumps are pretty, I love them all!! And I feel the same way although I don't have the time to clean it twice a day which will be my saving grace Just another way to encourage me to actually do maintenance

This ain’t pretty lol. 10 year old diy 40 breeder that has been on too many of my tanks lol.

To the right of the sump is the chiller (don’t think it has ever cut on, as my wife is an Eskimo), 20 long as an ATO container, 4x APC smart ups 3ks, my doser, bottles for dosing and my testing stuff.

I will say, sea lettuce, graciliria, cheato, and some random macros from Florida keep the water clean.

my approach, keep it simple, skimmer only runs once a week for 6 hours on the night it runs.

My light is almost here! Sometime tonight! The anticipation is killing me

Hopefully it will help get you back on track, chatty Kathys

But what isn't pretty about it? Solid DIY design, Multiple types of algae, shallow sand, occasional skimming. That right there is the beautiful part of sumps, just like displays, even though they all serve the same purpose, every one of them is completely different. Different filtration techniques and methodologies, equipment implementations. It's all fantastic!!
