AW Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 The sump is set up as a Marine Refuge. As the main photo show, water will ne br dumped into the left chamber, possible with a prefilter. THe mid section would be set up with a sand base and used to culture Macro algae ( the gut would have run a light over it) the right side the first glass panel set the height of water in the refuge. The last chamber on the right would be where the return pump sat. The water level will only change in this chamber as water evaporates for the system, being a small chamber and the amont of evaporation you get from a reef tank, henced the need for the top up float in the chamber to maintain water level for the pump and maintain a constant salinity. Probable used an external pump also, hence the bulkhead fitting. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_AquariumP ... p_kit.html So what does this all mean to you! Its not very useful for freashwater in its current configuration Ideally you want a trickle filter or wet/dry set up http://newaquariuminformation.com/aquar ... filter.htm Search trade me for "Wet & Dry Trickle Filter" It may suit your purposes quite well. Oh, and if nobody has told you, sump type systms make noise 8) Making them quite is another whole dicussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
