Ok so plumbing is almost done!! Can’t wait tbh. The far right is where I want to add uv has a gate valve that’s closed atm. That’s going to connect to the bottom of the 4 way. This is all going to be plumbed on to the under side where doors sit. It will be with a ball valve. So when I get ball valve on wall facing me looking at tank should I fill or finish the uv plumbing. Note tank has been with me for 4 years now want water in it!!!
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
Finally! Almost have the 75 gallon up and running, bull heads come in today and will finish up plumbing once I decide how I want to place my sump.
Is this a good height for the drain pipe? It’s about 1/2” below the weirs of the overflow (to the hole at the top). Would that be where to measure into the bigger hole further down?
Is this a Good sump idea?
Having trouble figuring out where to mount / install the uv sterilizer
It’s metal around. Thought about maybe screwing into the metal somehow.
Or mount to the wall behind? Scares me a little having that water run out of the tank but idk where else to put it
actually i am quite desperate
anyway in the central florida area have any gear that they dont need/dont want anymore im mainly looking for a sump or sump parts

First system with a sump, any suggestions?
Hello all getting my 92 gallon all set up and going my question is will a 20.4 gallon sump work that I got for free with a 92 tank?
Recirculating CO2 scrubber.
Set it up today at 7.80, let's see if I can get it my pH to 8.2-8.3.
Using soda lime connected to the skimmer air intake and recirculating air from the skimmer lid.
Thoughts?
Will this be an issue? All the research says hammers and torches can’t be next to each other
Any ideas for a ATO reservoir that’s not to expensive

Any one know why I never have anything in my skimmer cup? It bubbles up. It’s working but it’s always empty
