Sump/Refuguim is finally up

After being put on hold for 1 year it is up and running. Tell you what, this would have been 100% easier if I would done this from the beginning. Plus if you ever decide to put your tank in a corner, don’t it’s a pain to get to the back especially with a taller tank.

20 Gallon Tall

1st chamber: intake and Phos-Ban (Trying to control major Algae bloom)

2 chamber: 1 gallon miracle mud. New Titanium Heater, Live rock with calupra (spelling?)

3rd Chamber: Rio 2500HP Pump (I know what you all think of Rio but it is already what I had), Cut up Bag Filter Bag (400 Micron) for prefilter for pump) and Carbon Bag.

I modified my Bak Pak 2 for sump us but would not, fit. This will have wait to I can get a smaller in sump protein skimmer.

Next tear down phase I will switch all the piping to PVC.

The pump and air lift for the over flow are put on a battery back up that gets 65 minutes at 200 Watts, so hopefully get a little more since I am only using around 65 Watts.
