Thanks for watching

considering the height of the last couple panels, how much volume is left for slight draining in a power outage, and why are the center panels all the way to the top which won't prevent flooding if bottom area would get clogged....

陈子龙 - 6 years ago

this is failure design due to water will be flow thru at bottom of third compartment .

Brandon Burris - 6 years ago

陈子龙 huh?

JyB818 - 7 years ago

Looking at building my own first tank and sump. Thank you for the great videos. But wouldn't it make more sense to put the refugium AFTER the skimmer?

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+JyB818 Yes it's mistake! Thanks for watching

Brandon Meade uy eh jb cemu.info

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

Brandon Meade - 7 years ago

aren't you going to skim out all the critters out having the skimmer after refugium .pods etc

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+Brandon Meade yes, this is common mistake, I fixed it after that, thanks for you comment

G Rod - 7 years ago

Beautiful sump, rare to see glass sumps these days, I wouldn't have put my skimmer after the fuge, but gorgeous set up, wish you the best on the tank

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+G Rod yes putting the skimmer before the fuge is better

SaltEncrustedSpear Tips - 7 years ago

should've added dye

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

yah, why not! many thanks for your interest.

SaltEncrustedSpear Tips - 7 years ago

Would love to see the vid if you decide to make it!

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+SaltEncrustedSpear Tips yes you are totally correct, I haven't this idea

SaltEncrustedSpear Tips - 7 years ago

Or for that matter you could test any chamber in any order with the dye. This may take several shoots but would be a beautiful video when said and done.

SaltEncrustedSpear Tips - 7 years ago

Put dye in a dropper as your filling the first chamber to see the fluid dynamics. It could help to improve the concept by minor adjustments and what not. It also would be visually satisfying.

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+SaltEncrustedSpear Tips sorry, i didn't get your point!

why the break in glass on the far right panel?

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

+John David Anderson this is only to increase the movement in the second chamber
Thanks for watching

very nice work, and perfect timing as I am building my first sump, and I may ask for your help from now on if you don't mind ;)

Abdelatif Aldaoud - 7 years ago

the water level in the sump and in the protein skimmer chamber is high, isn't it?

ReefAmorous - 7 years ago

Sure, feel free to ask
Thanks for watching
