Yah its not to hard to make this system, not expensive either compared to manufactured one, I prefer to make my sumps my own way so I can have exactly what I want you know.

Hi thank you for sharing your idea very clean and excellent work done what is the size of pvc pipe you use for plumbing and also the 2 inlet pipe at the sock for the sump are they detachable? Just in case if need remove the sump or equipment need to change out

@EagleAquatics 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you! The pipe for the return I believe it 3/4" and the two drain pipes are 1" I think. All of the pipe is detachable so it can be remove if we had to move the tank or the sump.

Hey I'm gluing up my sump and before I'm gluing i thought I'd ask since you have a similar setup. Is that egg crate section after the refugium work out well how it is or would you rather have that section before the refugium after filter sock or both have 2 sections?

@EagleAquatics 3 жыл бұрын

They egg crate section is mean to catch an debris from the refugium like cheato or other things from going into the tank. If you want to see how I made that section I have a whole video on how I built this sump. I would just do the section after the refugium.

Hey first time plumbing a reef tank, (or any tank at all lol). Did you attach the flexible vinyl hose directly to the threaded bulkhead with the hose clamp or to pvc?

@EagleAquatics 4 жыл бұрын

How we did that was, we glued a short piece of pvc inside of the bulkheads. Then we clamped the vinyl hose to the short pipe coming out of the bulkhead and to the pipes going to the sump. We used hose clamps for the vinyl hose.

@luisvaldez5646 5 жыл бұрын

I have a question on the check valve you said its 1 inch but your pbc is 3/4 is that corect? So you juat needed an adaptor. Also on the check valve does it have to be glued or just screws together to the pump and onto the pbc.

@EagleAquatics 5 жыл бұрын

The check valve is 1' in and outlet, same as my return piping. My overflow pipe is 3/4" pipe. You dont need an adaptor for the valve you just need one that has the same in and outlet size as your return. You glue the inlet and outlet to the return pipe and the check valve screw into those two if that makes sense.

I thought of having my returns come down into sump below water line like you did, but how do you get the sock out for cleaning if pipe goes that far into sump?

@EagleAquatics 4 жыл бұрын

The sock holder allows me to lift the sock up, turn the ring and tilt it down. Then I shove the sock underwater and under the pipes and then remove it.

Sounds good, want to make sure some are on the ground so water can flow over them though.

@jackdunn5147 2 жыл бұрын

You may want to consider replacing those metal clamps with plastic ratchet clamps are your return and overflow. Metal will corrode in saltwater and you don't want that near your sump.

@EagleAquatics 2 жыл бұрын

They wont corrode if there is no leaks, they never corroded on me. They are stronger than plastc clamps.

@jackdunn5147 2 жыл бұрын

@@EagleAquatics Simple evaporation is enough to cause oxidation followed by corrosion of the metal clamps. In time you will see.

What happens if your return pump fails. Does your sump overflow?

@EagleAquatics 5 жыл бұрын

Nope The key to preventing that is installing a check valve to stop the down flow of water

@kevinbeltran1509 3 жыл бұрын

Question!!! I’ve been trying to find an answer to this question and maybe you can help. How do regulate the amount of water being pumped out of the sump by the return pump without worrying that it will pump out to much water and leave the sump dry? Another words. How do you make sure that you are pumping the same amount of water that comes in?

@EagleAquatics 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly it shouldn't matter how big you go with your pump, as your overflows will should be able to drain the water just as fast as its being pumped in.
