    Just like it said, lets see your sump/WetDry filter, trickle filter or what ever you want to call them. A pretty "out of the blue" pic request but i want to see what other people are using as sumps and also see what mods you have done to the sump.

    Thanks, Eric

    OK, here is what I have got. A 20g sump with my skimmer in front and behind it a Mag9 and a Rio2100. The plumbing to the left is for the Mag9 and the plumbing to the right is currently not being used. When I put in my fuge, that will be the main drain into the sump from the overflow. i will just have to extend it down to below water level.

    The right side is the outlet for the skimmer and you can see the plumbing that will go to the fuge once I cordon off that area (I have about six gallons I can reserve for such an endeavor). The ball valve will slow down the flow, and I will deviate the main flow to the other pipe.

    And the plumbing coming from the overflow.

    And as always, if someone sees anything out of whack, I don't know about it. Educate me. Thanks.

    It is a very pretty knob. I love it. So colorful and bright, it just screams turn me on, tur......never mind. It is pointed in the general direction of my future and most excellent fuge. You will all be so jealous of my fuge you will want to copy me. Yeah, you will. Infinity you will.

    Jeez!!!! Just dump on me:bigcry:!!;D!! No I am. And by the way, they are not ceramic, but only the finest (really thin) plastic you can buy from walmart. Boy oh boy, they really rolled back the prices on those. ::) Yeah I want to play with PVC and make good solid stand for the skimmer. I just haven't got around to it yet. That will be something I do in the next week. I am working a ten day stretch here so it won't be first priority!!!
