what are baffles used for? Can i just put three dividers?
Ricks Reef
Ricks Reef - 7 years ago
the baffles help keep bubbles getting to the return pump and into the tank. Thats it really. The water has to go down and under and back up to get to the last or next chamber. So any bubble have a hard time doing that.

My baffles were about 1 inch apart. So 2 inches total from one to the other. Mostly did that so I can get in there and clean up with a hose if I needed to. You can do whatever you want in your sump. I mean that there isnt any set way for what you put in there. I had a refugium for a little wile but it just didnt every work out on mine. I had it mostly for the skimmer, heater and reactor.

Would this be ok for a 29 gallon display tank with a 10 gallon sump

Sure. The bigger a sump the better. It's just limited by how much space you have for it.

I'm in the process of building my own 10 gallon sump, and I'm wanting to model mine exactly like yours. What are the measurements of all of the baffles? That's the only part giving me trouble.

What are the sizes of the glass you used? Thank you

+Bob Escher I think it was 1/8inch. Bought it a the local lowes.

Thank you so much. What type of glass?
Ricks Reef
Ricks Reef - 8 years ago
+Mic Micson Cost is just a few dollars at lowes or home depot.

how do you prevent the sump from over flowing during a power outage?
Legendary Aaron R
Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago
oh okay.
Ricks Reef
Ricks Reef - 8 years ago
+Aaron R Its a balance of water thats in the main tank and the sump. The main tank will drain into the sump thru the return nozzle. So I just make sure that the nozzle is high enough up in the main tank so that it only drains about 3 gallons back into the sump with no power.

was there a reason you put the bubble trap on the left instead of the right?
Ricks Reef
Ricks Reef - 9 years ago
+Nick Nelson bubble trap is on the left b/c thats where the skimmer is and it makes all the micro bubbles. By the time everything flows to the right side all the bubbles are gone.

I just built a DIY 5.5 gallon sump for my new 10g set up. I put a video of it up last night. I've been watching your videos for a while now. Keep up the good work!

Don't you need bio filtration?

The live rock he has in the display serves as the bio-filtration.
