[@ChrisFlims405]

Thanks man made it so easy and simple to understand can’t wait to start my built getting the stuff together as we speak 😂

[@SaltFishTV]

Glad it helped!

[@austinheikkila9305]

Damn boi! One of the best diy sumps I’ve ever seen!

[@SaltFishTV]

Thank you!! I really like this baffle kit

[@bensonwest8098]

I was going to buy the fiji one but this one is cheaper and better. Thanks for making this video and including the link.

[@SaltFishTV]

I’m glad I could help. I went this route too because of the cost.

[@amishpatel90]

That was satisfying to watch lol can’t wait to see it all up and running!

[@SaltFishTV]

Thank you very much! I hope by this coming weekend it’ll be time to get it wet!

[@NinjaSushi2]

Dude! That kit looks better than the Fiji one I was looking at getting. Thanks for the link!

[@alfredkenny6550]

Great vid cant wait to build mine!

[@SaltFishTV]

Thank you!

[@brandonlucas3130]

Love the vid. Very informative and inspirational, makes me want to build one too.

[@SaltFishTV]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@carlosbarajas382]

So the glue you’re using is good with our acrylic and glass

[@SaltFishTV]

The silicone I used works well, just put a good amount on there for extra stability. When I ran it, it worked fine

[@russellkeith3193]

That look very easy eorking on my first sump 40 long for my 220 salt fish only tank thx you

[@SaltFishTV]

That’s awesome and it is pretty simple! Thank you for watching!

[@gabesreef]

I really don't want to be that guy, but I was under the impression that acrylic does not attach well to glass. I really hope I'm wrong because it looks great

[@SaltFishTV]

That’s what the silicon is for 😉

[@MrBrhutchi]

My exact sump. Nice job

[@SaltFishTV]

Thanks!

[@QuIcKeNdZ]

that kits pretty clean!

[@SaltFishTV]

Thank you my man! I’m really pleased with the results from this kit.

[@jackunderwood6315]

would like to see how well this lasted over time since silicone doesn't bond to acrylic

[@eddiejeffers2783]

What do you recommend?

Thanks bud 👍🏻😎

[@naptown812]

The kit includes extra cut out pieces so you can make a ledge to hold the 2 inch piece in the section before return pump he mentions at 9 minute

[@SaltFishTV]

I always wondered what the extra pieces could have been used for 😝

[@polpowermetoo4531]

Its nice. Butt pricey. Its like $100 now for a few pieces of plexiglass. Also I'm reading the bad thing about socks is that they clog easily. They also say a wet/dry trickle works better for bacteria.

[@SaltFishTV]

There’s definitely many ways to build a sump! With filter socks it’s very common to change them anywhere from 3-5 days or even as much as daily, it all depends on how much your feed or waste is going on in the tank.

[@cooljz82]

Sorry....im sure I missed it. How main gallons is the display tank this is for?

[@SaltFishTV]

This was for my 40g breeder build I was making into an SPS reef, but ended up taking it down due to a bad Ulva outbreak. I’m thinking about setting it back up, but better

[@mariomaldo25]

Where is the second part ?

[@SaltFishTV]

What do you mean?

[@leroycline8849]

How big is the skimmer and sump chamber

[@SaltFishTV]

It fit the great white skimmer with a little bit more room. You can move the panels a bit to make it bigger or smaller to your liking. I’m sure the return pump chamber could be smaller if you wanted. As long as the equipment fit. It’s basically tailored to the equipment I used.

[@ToHonestDom]

Does the tank come with the baffles

[@SaltFishTV]

No. I think I do go over it in the video where I got it from

[@edwin_cho]

Excuse me! Do you mind repeating? Ty!

[@DM-ll7he]

Who makes a kit for a 30 long tank?

[@SaltFishTV]

Good question, I’m not sure. Try Google or eBay?

[@jeremy87turbo87]

No kids when you're putting the little spacer for the last bubble trap. Don't silicone that whole plate in place. Silicone 4 tabs in place and let that rest on top of it, so you can remove it.
