I just wanted to make sure what I just built was not a complete flop. :2911:
I wanted a hybrid sump where the water would hit the skimmer first and then leave the doors open for a refugium if that is something I wanted just do I did not have to do a complete rebuild in the future.
The sump I have put in this blog post at the bottom is the "final" product.
Attempt at a DIY Sump | SandBarAquatics.com
Water enters on the right in the 5" square box and then spills out of the bottom panel where the books are. The inlet for the skimmer will be right there and then the water will spill into the next box into the refugium section which holds about 5 gallons, and then it will spill into the return section which is around 3 gallons.
We have created a blog about our story on getting a saltwater aquarium up and running for the first time if anyone is interested. We just got started on it but we hope to keep it updated often. We hope it will help inspire others to get into this wonderful hobby!
