Sump On A Budget What Equipment I Use

Rosco's Reef with Scott

It can be hard when building a sump on a budget. These are the choices for equipment I have made in building mine and they have served well for the 6 years I have been in the hobby. All the links to them on Amazon are down below.

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

CUBAN REEFER agreed buddy

Jake Gonzalez - 7 years ago

What did you use to set up the sump? What are you using as baffle?

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Jake Gonzalez those are corean baffles. The sump was made for me by Billy Pipes. I will be doing a video on it soon. If you look in my older videos I show when I first got it and installing it.

BLUE DAMSEL - 7 years ago

I think I missed the hint!

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

BLUE DAMSEL there are 2 hints. I will give the answers on the next video. Stay tuned.

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Raymond Eutermarks - 7 years ago

Sorry Rosco.. Don't like the JBJ ATO. I had one and for another 20 or 30 bucks the Tunze ato $99 dollor one kicks ass.

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Raymond Eutermarks its all good. Everyone has their favorite brands.

Fishy Snowman - 7 years ago

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Fishy Snowman thanks fishy, I knew you would get it.

Dorian Elijah - 7 years ago

Nice vid. How do you like the reef keeper system?

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Dorian Elijah thanks Dorian, if I had to do it over I would have saved for the Apex. But it would have taken a lot longer.

9StickNate - 7 years ago

Hey Scott... What's the colony at 5:58? It's pretty sweet.

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Thanks Nate. If your talking about the green tipped with the brownish/green polyps then it's a encrusting Montipora Spongodes I got from FishofHex.

Sylvester Chwala - 7 years ago

Hi Scott very good video tank looking great mate

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Thank you very much Sylvester.

Good morning Reefer’s

Am Fit Elite Reefer - 7 years ago

Welcome brother

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Thanks buddy

Phillip Tennell - 7 years ago

Very obvious by your tank that a sump on a budget can provide amazing results!

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Thanks buddy I really appreciate it.

PsychedelicBabe - 7 years ago

I wish I had a sump under my tank .... when I upgrade next I will definitely be getting one

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

I definitely would recommend it PB. It is a great way to hide all the equipment and increase water volume as well.

Billy Pipes - 7 years ago

Ummmm. What about the cost of the sump itself!?!?

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

+Dave's Nano Tanks all Billy Pipes..lol

Dave's Nano Tanks - 7 years ago

Like those cool baffles and stuff?

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

I am going to be doing a separate video on the sump and you but I need to clean it up first. Don't worry it's coming buddy.

Murphy's Reefing - 7 years ago

New Tank Build? Where do you buy corals at on a budget without getting everyone's Kenya trees??? Lol. Cool video Scott. You have me curious

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

+Murphy's Reefing fingers crossed

Murphy's Reefing - 7 years ago

Awesome man. Can't wait hopefully

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

Hopefully maybe Murph on the build. You got to go to do a lot of frag swaps and have friends with coral..like you..lol

Mnosz - 7 years ago

It's good to know it can be done on a budget. I'm just getting into the hobby and when you research it's constantly people talking about the best of the best stuff.

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

+Murphy's Reefing totally agree with everything Murph. Ocean Revive is doing very well over my tank now.

Murphy's Reefing - 7 years ago

Yep, especially lighting is stupid exspensive. Also jebao makes really good power heads and return pumps at a fraction of the price with almost all the options. You don't need exspensive leds either it's a myth, all propaganda to make more money. I'm not saying there isn't advantages, but for a beginner no need in buying $3000 worth of light. See if you enjoy the hobby first. Lol

Rosco's Reef with Scott - 7 years ago

The best stuff is nice but some times you just can't afford the best. That's why I did this video to show that sometimes cheaper is not as bad. Just research your purchases and buy with your head. Oh, and ask a lot of questions.
