Default An upgrade to my 55g's sump!

Do you guys remember this sump?

Well, it has been replaced with this one. It only took me 8 months to make a
stronger one with 1/4" material for myself.

Feel free to look at this page to see more about it. The new pictures are near
the bottom.

That is very cool. Another work of art It's too bad you don't live in So.
Cal., at least for me anyway . Is the drain pipe drilled straight down or
does it come off a side? Is it really quiet?

Best,

I like it. You have a nice log of your full experiencing going on your site.
I may have to do something like that too. I'm in the process of setting up a
reef in a 72 gallon bow front aquarium with my dad, and eventually I'll
convert my 110.

The drain pipe for the refugium goes right through the floor, through a bulkhead
fitting. It's working just like I'd planned it.

The previous one was through the side wall, but I wanted to try something
different.
