HOW TO: The Best Way to DIY Aquarium Sump Filter | Sump Testing, part 2/2 (120g Reef Tank Setup E3)

[@hotelaccounting4217]

considering the height of the last couple panels, how much volume is left for slight draining in a power outage, and why are the center panels all the way to the top which won't prevent flooding if bottom area would get clogged....

[@DannysAquariums]

Great video again! I want a sump! *_Keep up the good work and thumbs up!_*

[@ReefAmorous]

+Danny's Aquariums thanks for watching, keep watching, the full tank setup is coming up next video

[@SantaMonicaFiltration]

Looks like water is the star of this video :)

[@DJ_LittlePea]

Looks great .... I've never used a sump and it's one hing I can't wait to get and try my hand at one 🤗

[@ReefAmorous]

+PsychedelicBabe So what is your setup for your tank. There is no sump?

[@DJ_LittlePea]

ReefAmorous my current tank is the innovative marine 16g so it's a complete set up and the tank I'm about to set up doesn't have the room for a sump so I'll be doing my filtration slightly different to everyone else 🤗

[@ReefAmorous]

+PsychedelicBabe interested! Share it with us when you done ;)

[@postaljeepdave]

why the break in glass on the far right panel?

[@ReefAmorous]

+John David Anderson this is only to increase the movement in the second chamber Thanks for watching

[@drdurso3114]

The 2 middle baffles should be an inch or so shorter, so that if any one chamber gets blocked, the tank won't overflow onto the floor. Also I always thought the skimmer should go before the refugeum so that you won't grind up the pods that you want to get pumped up top little by little to feed the display critters. VERY nicely made vid tho. I like it a lot

[@ReefAmorous]

Thank u so much for watching my video. Yes, all your concerns are correct, the was the first attempt to build a sump, please find my recent project for 400g system, this is the sump video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp65cqZuls-FjdE

[@ReefAmorous]

And this is the display tank 180g kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn66dXh4Zqd5ars

[@JyB818]

Looking at building my own first tank and sump. Thank you for the great videos. But wouldn't it make more sense to put the refugium AFTER the skimmer?

[@ReefAmorous]

+JyB818 Yes it's mistake! Thanks for watching

[@brandonmeade8999]

aren't you going to skim out all the critters out having the skimmer after refugium .pods etc

[@ReefAmorous]

+Brandon Meade yes, this is common mistake, I fixed it after that, thanks for you comment

[@Reefgrrl]

That's a big sump! Nice job.

[@ReefAmorous]

80x 35x 35 cm, around 23 gallons. it's not too much but its good for my system :) Thanks for watching!

[@mohdkhalid.sultan1461]

Nice

[@InfamousAquatics]

Looking good.

[@ReefAmorous]

+Infamous Aquatics thank you:)

[@grod190]

Beautiful sump, rare to see glass sumps these days, I wouldn't have put my skimmer after the fuge, but gorgeous set up, wish you the best on the tank

[@ReefAmorous]

+G Rod yes putting the skimmer before the fuge is better

[@brandonmeade8999]

cool . hope I didn't sound contradictory . I was just offering a bit of .advise

[@ReefAmorous]

+Brandon Meade Yah sure, its totally correct! Thanks for your advise

Boa Noite meu amigo, onde está a caixa de agua doce de seu sump, Ricardo " Brasil " minha língua e " Português" Abraço

[@ReefAmorous]

I designed the original box in another video, you can see it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6jVmXajfpaWf7s I am not sure if I understood your msg correctly or not!

[@abdelatifaldaoud9755]

very nice work, and perfect timing as I am building my first sump, and I may ask for your help from now on if you don't mind ;)

[@ReefAmorous]

Sure, feel free to ask Thanks for watching

[@abdelatifaldaoud9755]

the water level in the sump and in the protein skimmer chamber is high, isn't it?

[@duckwaters2702]

should've added dye

[@ReefAmorous]

+SaltEncrustedSpear Tips sorry, i didn't get your point!

[@duckwaters2702]

Put dye in a dropper as your filling the first chamber to see the fluid dynamics. It could help to improve the concept by minor adjustments and what not. It also would be visually satisfying.

[@duckwaters2702]

Or for that matter you could test any chamber in any order with the dye. This may take several shoots but would be a beautiful video when said and done.

[@ReefAmorous]

+SaltEncrustedSpear Tips yes you are totally correct, I haven't this idea

[@duckwaters2702]

Would love to see the vid if you decide to make it!
