Wow that is one sexy sump. Can't wait to see some water in that bad boy. Are you planning on hanging the same light above the fuge that you had in your last build?

D2mini, that sump is really cool. I cannot wait to see your tank in action. Your attention to detail is second 2 none.

Wow Dennis, beautiful sump. I love what BAO came up with for the drain, hopefully it works for your macros. I take it there will be a sponge/something to block macros in the last section where the egg crate is?

Educate me a little bit on sump design, why the black baffle on heater holder is lean to the refugium side?

From left to right, is it return pump, skimmer, and refugium section with spray bar? How do we compare filter pad/sponge and filter socks? |

I've never liked filter socks. They clog and are a pain to clean. A filter sponge is easy to rinse in the sink, and/or toss in the washer, and depending on what material you are using, cheap enough to toss in the trash once a week. Most of that stuff can be purchased in large sheets and cut to size.

Any chance of a second trip to Tampa Bay for us to live vicariously though you're means??? That was pretty awesome to be able to follow your experience with gathering your live rock before.
Oh, and whats with this 2 days and no pictures business?

There's plenty of exciting things in the works, and maybe even some changes coming. So keep checking back.
Couple minor updates from this week... • Both of my old Ecotech battery backups were dead. So a new one arrived yesterday. Time to switch that out. • A 200g bucket of Tropic Marin Pro salt arrived... Recommended by Triton. Different than my usual bucket of Salinity. • Picked up my new-to-me 24" LifeReef skimmer this weekend and changed out the tubing and gate valve. • Changed my mind on how I'm plumbing the sump, so now I'm waiting on a couple extra fittings from Elos. • Got some storage jugs to mix/store the Triton Elements. And working on dosing containers. • Two new 300w Finnex Titanium heaters are arriving today. • New Cepex ball valve arriving today to replace the one I ordered previously in the wrong size. :face palm:

Did you see the new magnetic stirrers from ghl? Would that be useful for your triton dosing liquids?

awesome build as usual, knowing your pretty handy, the ecotech marine batt b/u are not difficult to recycle, just drill the rivits, replace battery and pop in some new rivits, good to go again, and alot cheaper than new ones

Ya I've seen that and thought about it briefly.
This was one instance where I felt like by the time I went out, bought the battery, bought the rivet gun and rivets and took the time to do it, I'm just gonna get a new one under warranty. But maybe in the future when I have less going on.
