sump designs
With a big thanks to reefstew I got my sump cut down today. What is everyone's sump designs? Pros and cons? Suggestions? Mine is 60x18x18. I'm curious to see how everyone spreads out there chambers.
Thanks in advance Dustin |

a bunch of RCers and I about 3 years ago did a build with plans and ideas from Melevs reef. Our goal was to get as much out of one return pump as possible. Here's what we built....

I like 3 chambers; return pump in the middle with the fuge on one side, skimmer on the other. Overflow is split to provide appropriate flow rates to each side of the sump.
