Okay also ich hatte ein altes 29-Gallonen-Becken in der Garage und ich mag mein aktuelles Setup mit dem Sumpf echt nicht. Also hab ich beschlossen, meinen eigenen zu bauen. Ich hab mir alles besorgt und plane gerade erst. Ich will sowohl den Abschäumer als auch ein Refugium einbauen, weil ich einen Mandarin habe und einen guten Copepoden-Überschuss will. Sieht dieses Setup okay aus? Ich hoffe, dass ich in Zukunft einfach die Socken rausnehmen und dann vielleicht von 30 auf 40 auf 50 ppi gehe (vielleicht auch mehr, wenn es das gibt). Einfach damit ich mir nicht alle 2-3 Tage Gedanken machen muss, die Socken zu ersetzen.
Es sah so aus, als würde es das Original abschneiden, also poste ich lieber beide Seiten davon, nur um sicherzugehen
Okay so I had an old 29 gallon in the garage and I really don’t like my current set up with my sump. So I decided to build my own. I bought all the stuff and I’m just planning now. I want to fit both the skimmer and a refugium because I have a mandarin and want a good copepod surplus. Does this set up look ok? I’m hoping that in the future I might just take the socks out and do maybe a 30 then 40 then 50 ppi(maybe more if they have that). Just so I don’t have to worry about replacing socks every 2-3 days.
It looked like it cut off the original so I’m going to post both sides of it to be safe

Is this a baffle kit you bought? Or are you cutting custom acrylic pieces for the sump sections?

Cutting custom pieces. I just bought the sheets and a tool

Ok cool. So I bought a kit and I’ll show you how mine is set up. The sump and refugium have holes in between ( dark blue ) so the water line is the same (light blue). And then from refugium to return pump it’s flipped from what you have. And there is bio blocks and mechanical filtration. My favorite part of the kit is an adjustable height acrylic piece (pink) so you can manually adjust the water height for the skimmer/refugium chamber. The water pressure basically will hold the pink piece against the red. Hopefully that makes any sense hah. Idk if there is a right or wrong way to do a sump. Just wanted to give you more ideas

Yeah that’s a good idea! That’s why I posted lol never made one or really even seen a good one. I’ve tried to look up some but they’re all so different so I just went with what I thought looked right. But that makes a lot of sense.

Also do you think the 2-3 inch drop from the bio media section to the skimmer would be loud like SFReefer said? If so do you have any ideas to keep the sponge in use?
@billy

Yeah I agree with SFreefer. Theres no need or benefit for that red area.

Well the reason I had it that high was so that the level in the first chamber was higher. Less sound coming from the filter socks

The skimmer will also be much larger, it’ll be sticking out of the top of the tank but I can’t draw that haha
