Triton sump setup

Rmcuddy · Oct 25, 2018

I'm trying to set up my Triton 44 sump and am curious where a certain piece goes. In the picture, it is the blue piece laying on top. Does anyone know where this goes in the sump? Thanks!

I believe that is the piece that goes inbetween the fuge chamber and the final chamber to adjust the water level.

@Crabs Mcjones got it.

There is already something like that there it looks like.

I know they include a piece to replace the black pipe inlets, did you mistakenly use that somewhere or do you have that as well? It does look like on of the water level adjustment pieces, possibly the one for the skimmer chamber.

I have the same sump, but I haven't pulled it out of the box and put it together yet as I'm waiting on my new tank still.

Ya I know it's not the inlet pipe piece...I still have that off. It looks exactly like the piece on the pump side. I wish they would have a video on this thing, there isn't any info anywhere on how to set up.

WHat about the inlet side between the fuge chamber and the skimmer chamber?

#10

Nope it's not that... .that was already there.

Sounds to me like you may have received an installed spare

There shouldn't be more then 2 water level adjustments on the sump. Let me peak in my box and see if either of mine are pre-installed.

Ok so looking at mine, #8 and #9 are pre-installed. My #10 is not pre-installed. I have a black piece as well as a blue piece the looks exactly like yours. I noticed on my #8 and #9 they attach with 2 piece on each side of the opening. I'm assuming for #10 the install should be the same, the black piece plus the blue piece with the sump divider itself in the middle of those two.

My understanding is that extra blue piece is if you want to remove the media shelf
But I am not sure where I read that.
