@@ReefDudesThanks for the video. I wish you would follow the trend of shooting the video separate from doing the audio. The shakey cam with narrative is less than optimal. Always improving. Your recent videos are much better. Thanks

Thanks Wayne! Im So stocked for how it’s coming together.

[@JahrTurchan]

Beautiful and inspirational!! Sets the bar for something to shoot for!!

[@MrCarlosec83]

Wow. Placing my order in. Starting a 5x3x2 peninsula and after seeing this sump I will order my own 36L sump from GEOS.. thx for the vid really helped to seal my decision.

[@ReefDudes]

Happy to hear it helps! Geo’s Reef does excellent work!

[@ukreefer4907]

That looks fantastic mate 👌👌 great video 👍👍

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks UK Reefer!!! 😍

[@ukreefer4907]

ReefDudes anytime pal, making me seriously think now about the sump for an upcoming upgrade

[@ReefDudes]

Well if you go that route I highly recommended it. I have always been to cheap and did a basic glass one. But these custom ones are next level!

[@ukreefer4907]

ReefDudes I’ll definitely look into it pal, I’ll need to find someone in the uk though 🙈

[@matthewjohnson8141]

Awesome

[@ReefEco]

Pretty slick! Congrats on the final piece of the tank. I will be interested to see how the cryptic reactor works over time, and if it accumulates detritus, etc. Great method for essentially extending the sump volume and adding more biofiltration. Thanks as always for the great video!

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks! I really like the cryptic concept. Keeps the sump cleaner , give you a ton of bio filtration and keeps it algae free!

[@FarmedFrags]

Geos does amazing work, received mine almost 2 months ago, very happy with the build quality. Congrats on your system.

[@y_gagaring]

Nice and I really like that you're running a cryptic reactor, I was thinking of doing something similar with my current build. There's a thread on R2R that I still upon that is very informative on cryptic zones.

[@ReefDudes]

I agree. Tons of benefits!! Excited to let it flourish!!

[@amaurigomez3576]

Hi where did you build your sump ?I need one the same can you let me know please

[@ReefDudes]

www.geosreef.com

[@brentrobeaux4885]

nice ! whats the dimensions

[@ReefDudes]

32"x 23"x 15"

[@alfredlanza9327]

that was a beautiful sump .. I have the same peninsula for a years now I know you have a video when you put the Clarisea 5000 filter roller Just wondering if you still have the video how you did it

[@HBReefBros]

Will copepods be able to make it from the refugium back to the display since the black sponge filter is in the way to block the chaeto from entering the tank?

[@ReefDudes]

Could put in a very coarse sponge to allow pods through but keep chaeto out.

[@onemansgarage9658]

I would think they could make it no problem. They would probably populate in that sponge. In my tank nothing stops them cause they are everywhere and I only added them to the fuge originally.

[@ReefDudes]

@@onemansgarage9658 haha so true! I'm not too worried about it but time will tell :) i therew out 80% of my old chaeto and just took a bit of cleaner looking bits for this one so well see once that fuge is in full swing

[@ArrickthaRed]

Nice bit of kit. I love when things all match. Now do not get it dirty.

[@ReefDudes]

Haha right. I’ll feel obligated to keep it extra clean now!

[@zachbryant3815]

Do you have a video on changing the filter roll for the geo sump? Is it the same as changing it on a normal sk-5000?

[@kckc1801]

How do you like the L2 return pump? How much flow (gph) do you think it is?

[@KevinDavidTo]

What media are you using in your cryptic?

[@ReefDudes]

Eshopps biolux there are tall rectangle blocks of filter media. They stacked up nicely inside

[@KevinDavidTo]

@@ReefDudes thanks! I liked it when I saw it, was originally going to do the cubes but those look much nicer

[@KevinDavidTo]

@@ReefDudes how many did you squeeze in?

[@azhunter400]

No filter socks or filter pad? The drain water goes straight to the Clarisea?

[@ReefDudes]

It goes into first chamber then into calriseas

[@JCSReefing]

sweet!

[@chaseburke5089]

That sump is doooope. Will definitely be using geos on my next build. Don't want to be negative Nancy but what are you going to do for nitrate and phosphate? You have the roller, skimmer, I'm guessing carbon in the reactor, the refugium, and the cryptic. Sounds like some crazy over complex filtration.

[@ReefDudes]

I like to feed very heavy so should work out well. :)

[@MichealWanghuan]

can feel how happy you are^_^

[@ReefDudes]

I'm pretty stocked! i have always wanted a fancy custom sump! :P

[@joshstevens2212]

What are the dimensions on this sump. I have been looking for a sump with a fuge and roller in one and there isn’t many options that will fit under my 100 gallon stand

[@mediaontap]

Where did you get the metric to standard adapters? I did a quick search on BRS but didn’t find them.

[@ReefDudes]

BRS or CoralVue. One of the two. Ordered plumbing parts from both

[@si8780]

Great video, what flow rate will you be flowing through the cryptic reactor? Thanks

[@ReefDudes]

I dont have a meter to test it so just kinda went looks 1/2" line has a decent flow but not rushing through+

[@leem270]

Looks Awesome! Making me jealous ;)

[@ReefDudes]

heheh thank you!! my bad :P its my dream build slowly in the making!

[@MASTERSURGEON04]

HI RD HOW ARE YOU I HAVE A QUESTION WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE USED EQUIPMENT THE YOU NOT USED ANY MORE I LOOKING FOR BARGEN OR SHIP EQUIPMENT TO BUY FOR MY BUILT THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP JOSE.

[@NationalReefing]

Nice flow thru of the sump! It's hard to gauge the demissions and gallons. What are your thoughts on a split lid for the skimmer chamber?

[@ReefDudes]

well you have to plan and stick with one skimmer for it to work but i LOVE having lids on all the chambers, contains all the water/less evap/less noise/less smells, less humidity in your stand. Tons of benefits to it. Plus it gives it a nice polished look!

[@robertjacobson1399]

what size is it ?

[@kiddt1999]

So the sump that came with it wasn’t big enough you think? Im looking at this peninsula and just getting into saltwater soon

[@ReefDudes]

The sump it came with was actually very nice! I have wanted a custom one with lids for a while now so decided to go custom since this is my last upgrade for a long time :)

[@kiddt1999]

@@ReefDudes very nice, waterbox sumps dont have lids?????

[@jungleboys3220]

[@matthewneidorfer1603]

can you give a link for the media reactor?

[@ReefDudes]

There are on his Facebook page. Don’t think it’s on the website yet.

[@RyanPV]

Great video Devin! Quick question for you… does the sump come with the Clarisea? Or is it fitted so you can install one you’ve already purchased?

[@ReefDudes]

I already has one so used the brain / motor from mine to keep it cheaper and he build the custom insert part that slide into the sump for me :)

[@Elev8minh]

GREAT LOOKING GEOS SUMP MAN!!! Do you know what model number this sump is? I think you said it’s a custom sump. Do you remember the person who helped you? have the same Waterbox peninsula as yours. Thanks a million!

[@ReefDudes]

Thank you! I love it. If you asking them for the reefdudes waterbox 7225 special they will have the plans for it! :) it turning out amazingly well! Love it

[@MrMiyagi570]

Are you planning on using the Reef Brite Plantlyte for the refugium or AI Prime Fuge light?

[@ReefDudes]

Prob use the refbrite for now and see how it does, its pretty dang bright! Ill likely just move the AI prime to my office frag system when thats up and running.

[@joshuablasi4179]

Devin, could you please give dimensions of your skimmer chamber?

[@TattooedDancer91]

Man that's crazy cool! I wonder about the ro float valve being right next to the probes. Won't the ro water mess with your readings? Or maybe the return pump is strong enough that it doesn't matter. :)

[@ReefDudes]

Yea we shall find out! It’s magnetic so I can always find it a new spot if need be. Or just further down by the reactor but then the rodi would flow towards the probe. Not you got me curious

[@tamasbalint7656]

Hey, been watching all your videos about the peninsula. I'm planing to get one myself soon. Was just wondering is it a lot more expensive to get the sump with costum dimensions than just getting one on their website that isn't custom. Btw love your tank it looks amazing. Learned a lot from your videos so far.

[@ReefDudes]

Yes it is. Anything custom aleya ups the price. Pretty sure my custom one is now the template for that model ;)

[@tamasbalint7656]

I haven't seen one like yours, they all seem to be more narrow 30x15. The ones that have the clarisea rollers

[@boomcar911]

Is there a Canadian reseller of geo equipment?

[@ReefDudes]

Sadly no. It’s custom so came from the states.

[@richardlam2641]

Ordered my sump on May 21. Still waiting for my AFR sump. How long did it take for yours to ship? Thanks! I cant wait for my Geo Sump

[@jonathanstephens7804]

Love it! I too run the Clarisea which sump model is this one? Been looking out for an acrylic sump for a future build and these guys look like a contender. I'm UK based though but see they offer international shipping so fingers crossed would be awesome!

[@ReefDudes]

This was a custom one, but i'm sure it will turn into an offering since waterbox's are popular tanks!

[@wmoID]

ReefDudes where you got the metric to us union from?

[@joshuablasi4179]

Dev, I am ordering one for my 7226. I am intrigued on how you changed out the plumbing. Did you changed it at the unions after it comes out of the tank?

[@OCReventsAndbuilds]

They sell that reactor never seen it on their sight ?

[@ReefDudes]

Its a new product from them. Pretty cool idea! i like it.

[@michaelbalsley6041]

That looks really awesome 👏🍾 The Bio reactor, will that cause nitrates to spike over time with detridus buildup? And Would Marin pure bricks 🧱 serve as the same purpose?

[@richardportelli1983]

Awesome sump, not sure about the cryptic though. just throw some media in you very expensive sump!

[@ReefDudes]

Time will tell! I have read lots about cryptic zones in the past and their advantages. For me it keeps the sump cleaner. Forces water though the bio media rather than around it. Prevents alage on it etc. So so good potential advantages.

Deven you looked like a kid on x-mas morning
