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!!!
Upgraded tank to maxspect ls-60 (32 gallon + 17 gallon sump) that was on sale. I believe I got the last one. After refund for some issue the whole set up was about 700 including tank, stand, return pump, pipings, sump, gyre and protein skimmer. Still work in progress but loving the stability with bigger size. Upgraded from custome pico 14 gallon. Happy Reefing.
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
Hi all…..just wanted to introduce myself and show you my tank that I just started! I have a HOB filter and was thinking of putting a 5.5 gallon sump underneath I just don’t know where to start! Any pointers would be appreciated!
Is this a Good sump idea?
Before and after some cable management. Long and tedious but worth it.
Finally got water in and cycling !!!
Still have a task to do for hiding water level, but I got an idea be sweet 😀
20 gallon tall set up with a HOB overflow running into a custom 20 gallon sump. Looking good lately!
First system with a sump, any suggestions?
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

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?
