What’s in your Sump? Trigger System Ruby

[Timrpn]

Hey,

Does anyone have the Ruby Cube Sump? I don’t really know what to put in it. If you have one or have ideas what to do with it, let me know. Attached is the pic of the sump. I currently have my skimmer in the same area as the filter sock, and in the long front part i have a Live rock and then just return pump in the rear left chamber. Nothing else.

Sounds like you got most of the essentials! Where do you currently have your heater (and, hopefully, a backup for it)?
Any sensors/probes you might have (if any) can certainly be located in the holding tray in the front-left.

I have the heater in the front long section. And ph, orp, and temp prob are in the probe holders on the left. And I have my salinity probe over just sitting in the far right where the water flow is slow.

Sounds like you have a full sump to me!

Do I need any media or anything?

That's up to you, really. Some people keep media (carbon, GFO, or both are three common examples) running in their tank all the time (which is what I do - constant mix of carbon and GFO in the tank) while others will only keep the media in the tank when/if needed as a remedy for tank issues.

If you wanted to run temporary media, you could get a closable bag and just drop it into the filter sock - or anywhere else it'll stay submerged but not get sucked into a pump.
If you want to run permanent media, then you could get a reactor that would sit outside the sump tank (in the cabinet) and either build a manifold to feed the reactor, or add a small utility pump to do the job.
