Beleza, então eu tinha um aquário antigo de 29 galões na garagem e eu realmente não gosto da minha montagem atual com o sump. Então eu decidi construir o meu próprio. Comprei tudo que precisava e tô só planejando agora. Eu quero conseguir colocar o skimmer e um refugium, porque eu tenho um mandarim e quero um bom excedente de copépodes. Essa montagem parece ok? Tô esperando que no futuro eu só tire as meias e faça tipo uma 30, depois 40, depois 50 ppi (talvez mais se tiver). Só pra eu não ter que ficar trocando as meias a cada 2-3 dias.

Pelo que parece, ele cortou a parte original, então vou postar os dois lados dele pra garantir

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

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

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?

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

My overflow pipe goes under the water then over flows into the sump
