nice sump. I also made a sump for my outdoor turtle tank. I really enjoyed the sump cause you can see just how it works and how much crap it cleans up. I actually have to clean it tomorrow because the mechanical is completely covered in nasty goo.

Awesome system! Do you mind sharing how wide (or how long) your sump's K1, ceramics, and intermediate compartments (where the water goes up) are? Also, how thick is the glass of your sump? I'm just trying to get an idea of dimensions as I'm currently in the process of designing a new sump for my freshwater tank. Obviously, the space between the intermediate baffles where the water goes up is much thinner, but I just wanted to see how thin. Any input is appreciated!

Impressive Sump design. Can you explain how the auto top off ( using the float valve ) system works in the sump. Also is it possible through any automotive system in which automotive water changes ( periodically small amounts of 15 to 20 gallons in the sump specifically in the Return Chamber, four to five times in a 24 hour duration of every after 3 to 4 hours time gap ). Trying to figure out small AUTOMATED water changes procedure in the sump... like 20 to 30% water changes of the total tank capacity.

Nice video. I come from a saltwater background and contemplating switching to a freshwater discus setup. I currently have a 450 gallon reef with a 100 gallon sump and 40 gallon refugium. I know freshwater skimmers are not commonly used in freshwater, but can I use my skimmer by adding air stones to create fine bubbles? Also, can I utilize the refugium with nitrate absorbing plants on a reverse light cycle? Any other advice would be appreciated.

@Jetblink619

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Unfortunately proteins skimmers have little to no use in the freshwater environment. Freshwater cannot foam up like its saltwater counterpart. Best way to keep pristine water with low nitrates, etc., is to do weekly water changes and or a constant drip system like I have on my tanks that is constantly replacing water at a slow rate. Discus prefer very clean water, so I would recommend a planted tank with a sump/refugium. As far as the refugium goes, I would suggest using Pothos plants. They are extremely easy and in my experience over the years I have found them to remove the most amount of fish waste by far.

What is the reason to choose so many different types of media, instead of using only either K1 or lava rock, or the ceramics? Not talking about the pH buffering by the coral rock... Wouldn't you go better with one area just for K1 or with lava rock alone? I think lava rock is better than K1. What do you think? Anyone else?

Nice setup, but my guess is total cost pushing 5K, perhaps more with some of the fancy gear. What was the budget for this? I would also beg to differ about the plants, I have a ton (including a 25 foot pothos) and although they do very well, I do not think that they are any substitute for regular water changes, they make use of the nitrates but do not 'remove' them. Just my two cents and although tbh not a fan of bare tanks like this, the fish are pretty. Did you build the setup or buy it?

@@Jetblink619 Sounds like a nice system, I guess the constant refresh might be required more for salt water. I just wanted to point out that plants will not remove any extensive amount of nitrates; in my experience at least that just hasn't happened. I also rarely if ever test though, just can't be bothered spending money to reassure myself what is obvious if you look at the tank; ie everything is fine :) As I said I have a ton of plants, total biomass maybe 10 times more but on far smaller tanks, 35, 40 and 90. I grow several kinds of pothos, bamboo, jasmine, and I have a spider plant the size of a medicine ball with 4-5 foot runners; it went insane as soon as I put it in the tank. Yes, in the tank, not a sump. I built frames with window screen stretched over (cat proof), and cut slits for the plant stems. Fish and shrimp both love the roots, I cut them back so they are not unsightly also. I just wondered about all the extra equipment in a bare tank, what's to clean out of the water besides a bit of suspended particulate, esp with no vegetation, also esp after that insane sump more suited to Marineland lol. :) cheers and happy christmas

But prices wise I say about maybe 120 - 75 dollars…. For the pump… because it depends on the size of holes you drill will determine how much air will move though them …. Hope it helps..
