Red's Sump Build...

Thanks I hope they Enjoy it to. In the long run money saved from buying canister crap!

 

Since I all know you like pics...



Not much but not much I can do till the pump and overflow get here!

 

IMPO I would scrap the check valve. Just make sure and set the sump up correctly and there is no need for it. it is just one more thing that will fail.

 

I think we Have it good to go, Dads Cutting the Glass right now (for dividers) (we are gonna plexiglass route with this) And siliconing it and getting the piping all set, that will be tonight's project. And tomorrow I can relax and let it all cure. And Sunday We will be putting it up!

 

Fun! Can't wait until you get it up and running!

 

Me too! Assuming it doesnt make a disaster! :-x

 

Since Im running a T off the intake to the sump into a separate compartment for some chaeto, Could i add a small layer of course sand to it? or would that Hinder the process?

 

Hey, Red! I just ordered my glass today too.

You want to add sand to your fuge? That shouldn't be a problem at all..

Thanks for the reassurance. I think it should work nicely adding a little sand to the one chamber. Half tempted to Transport a bristle worm or two from the display at night to give it some fun

 

The sounds from your splashing clowns are soon to be drown out by the noise of a noisy overflow lol... I kept telling myself for the longest time i was going to build one of these
Hofer Gurgle Buster Construction).

But now i've gotten used to the noise. Who needs one of those soothing sound machines to fall asleep when you've got an overflow box? Ha ha.
