In-depth review on sumps and how YOU can accomplish the same great results! Check out why a sump set up is......in my opinion, the BEST all around filtration system bar none.
The shear volume a sump contains allows for a variety of different media of your choice. They attribute to a high oxygen level and unmatched gas exchange due to the turbulent water moving through the pipes to and from the display tank, in addition to the amount of surface are in each section. With little to no maintenance required, is a win-win for me.
My 300 gallon tank for example, I spend roughly ONE minute per week on maintenance- which is the time it takes me to swap out two filter socks. Every 2.5 - 3 weeks I will change out the bed matting sheets, which is also just a couple minutes of my time. The highlight to my sump design is the aquaponics system and MOST importantly, the Constant Drip System....which has been a game changer. No manual water changes have been done since its installation, and the results are phenomenal.
The majority of my sumps are DIY, I like to customize to my liking. It is not as tough as you may think! Give it a try!

You are the only home aquarist that I have seen who has used aquaponics to clean water. I had a 1000 litre African tank changing 200-300 litres a week with nitrates hovering around 120-160ppm to trickling water into overhead plants (devils ivy) . Nitrates down to 10-20ppm , 1 monthly water change at 40-60litres. You have an awesome setup

@Jetblink619 Жыл бұрын

Thank you much! This system has been running itself for well over a year now (no manual water changes since installing the constant drip system). I clean the filter pads once every couple of weeks and that’s about it. Probably spend about 10 minutes a month on tank maintenance on this setup.

@pearjuice11 Жыл бұрын

I run a heavily planted tank+hanging pothos and eliminate all nitrates. I think part of why I can eliminate completely is because I fertilize- plants can only use up the nitrate that they have appropriate nutrients to process with. Nowhere near the scale of 1KL but I thought it may be worth a mention.

This is the best filtration system that I've seen yet . I like the construction because you can actually see the water change as it cycles which is better then the fx5 and 6 . To me I can see it doing more than what it was designed to do,, like a giant water filtration system for outside environment that may have contaminated toxins like ponds, lakes , rivers or even our oceans if you think big. However it may be possible to create a patent for every home that may be in an area where there is city water that is contaminated with lead, nickel, High concentrates of salt and calcium that is to say if you have that kind of imaginative idea. Just the same I wish good luck on your idea. I will be subscribing to you next month. Please and thank you for your time.

Thanks so much for the support! Unfortunately a long video but I get asked about the sumps all the time so hope it will answer some questions. I’ll make a video on the saltwater tank and will start to showing all (29) tanks running in the house. As for the electricity used, all of my set ups are pretty energy-efficient believe it or not. The 300 for example only runs one main DC pump (at 70%), a heater, UV sterilizer, 2 wave makers, and LED light strip. So for a tank that size...not bad on power consumption all things considered. The fish room....all but two tanks run on one air pump with the sponge filters. So far not terrible.

Love the progression of the sump on your main display tank from what it was, to what it is today! Quick question: Since you no longer do water changes due to the drip system, do you still vacuum the substrate? If so, how often? Does the decrease in water after vacuuming effect anything while the drip system catches up to the correct levels? Thanks.

The timing of this vid is perfect! I'm working on tank #9, biggest yet at 210g. The previous ones are a mix of HOBs and canisters, and I've got no experience with sumps. I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate an auto drip system with a sump, while accounting for evaporation. Float valve!! Check valve is a great idea! Is there any risk with a check valve?? Also trying to figure out filter socks vs roller mat. This vid is VERY helpful!

@Jetblink619 3 жыл бұрын

Good Morning Phil, I've been using float valves in this manner for a very long time and it is absolutely the way to go in my opinion. The check valve is on the return line of course and is there in case of a power failur or if I were to manually turn the pump off.,...it instantly stops any back-flow of water going back to the sump. As for the filter socks....the struggle is real. They are good and help keep my tanks crystal clear but I have also been looking at roller mats lately as a replacement.

If you want to maintain the higher numbers compared to what comes out of your tap, then you will need to implement some form of buffer system obviously. You can do this many ways, you can use a bunch of aragonite, it would have to be a pretty decent amount, you can use crushed coral or crushed oyster shells etc. I have been crazy busy lately and lacking on the videos but I will make some new videos going more in depth with this stuff.

Why not put the drain at the left side, and fresh water in -maintain at the right side. To me, this is most efficient use of fresh water. The dirtiest water gets discharge out first, and doesnt come in contact with fresh water. Kind of a waste of effort to treat the water then drain it out eventually. IMHO, I believe you will get even better water parameter by changing the drain position.

on the constant drip system are you conserned with Chlorine and Chloramine from water provider ? or is that handeled with the filtration system

The incoming water is filtered through different stages of carbon to remove the chlorine from the tap.

What’s ur method of cleaning filter socks?

@Jetblink619 Жыл бұрын

I took a piece of light diffuser and zip tied some 1 inch PVC pipe to the bottom of it. I cut the light diffuser out to fit in my utility sink. This allows the light diffuser to sit at least an inch off the bottom of the tub. I place the filter, socks, on top of the light diffuser have a 2 foot hose connected to a high pressure water nozzle. I have really good pressure coming out so I basically just blast the socks with warm or hot water and I am able to get them completely clean very quickly.

Need a little help, I have a freshwater tank with a sump and I'm using filter socks. I just replaced the sock with a brand new one and getting bubbles overflowing from top of sock. I was able to stop the bubbles by raising the sock about 4" above the sock mount is this normal?

@Jetblink619 3 жыл бұрын

That is a hard question to answer without seeing the setup but yes, most setups will have air in the lines. My set up does not. It does not because I have valves that are tuned to maintain a certain water level in the overflow box and drain lines where there is no air. This makes my system completely silent. So to answer your question if I’m hearing you correctly...yes your situation is normal

@Jetblink619 Жыл бұрын

Assuming you are referring to the pvc gluing…..my trick is I don’t put gobs of it on, I tap it once or twice on the can so it doesn’t run all over the place. If you take your time with it, it will come out very clean and no drips

Whats are you using to keep the K1 from flowing through the baffle?

@Jetblink619 3 жыл бұрын

It is actually a gutter guard that I bought from Home Depot which is basically just a piece of plastic with a ton of holes in it for high water flow but small enough that the media cannot pass through. I also have it angled so the media does not get caught up on it from the flow and just keeps circulating.

great tank but too much water changed and what about heating all that water coming in? same water clarity and balance could be achieved with a lot less cost in my opinion!!! any haw great job

@Robertye112 Жыл бұрын

This is a beautiful setup. The fact that you have 0 nitrates means all that media and sump baffles and hydroponics are completely useless :) Your constant water change is what is keeping the water clear and 0 nitrates. You probably don't even have a cycled tank in there because you'd never have enough ammonia to startup bacteria. It's a great idea and I'm going to copy it! It's a lot more difficult for me to get access to a drain and water from my tank as I'm on a concrete slab, but i'll hack something together. Gorgeous fish and great setup!!

@mikec8820 9 ай бұрын

*There is clearly beneficial bacteria growing on the k1 fluidized bed and has certainly cycled. I'm certain this tank was also cycled before the constant drip was turned on. * The total volume of this system is around 360gal. A 1 gallon per hour drip, is equivalent to a 50% water change about every 10 days. It will take approximately 70 days to effectively change 99% of the water in that system. While the constant drip system aids in keeping nitrate levels low it is only one item in doing so and is not the end all be all for nitrate level reduction, as explained above with effective water change of the drip sytem. The aquaponics system incorporated here is probably responsible for the majority of the nitrate reduction.
