In other words, the red line is from the overflow of the cube, to the bottom of the sump section with the return pump. When the sump fills, will the overflow from the cube work if it’s that low? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, will it flow though if it’s well under water? Like near the bottom of the sump? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another question- the return line from the cube to the sump- that needs to dump above water right? I couldn’t drill the sump and have it empty below water- otherwise it would want to fill and not have pressure to dump? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right, that’s what I was thinking. I think I can accommodate that, but would need to check. Thanks for the responses! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought about the drain, but it’s on the other side and hooked into a roller mat- I don’t want to mess with that. I can adjust the sump volume some to give some more headroom for back flow- all that will flow back in there is what’s in the plumbing from the refugium tank (it’s a 40 cube) and the plumbing from the display- which already flows back- I don’t think there is much to flow back, right?

No- actually the return pump would basically be split and some would go into the display and some would go into the refugium- essentially that water would recirculate from return pump to refugium and back to return pump. If power goes, I don’t think much would go back into the sump, other than what is in the plumbing from the addition tank? My sump is small and about at its max limit now for water- that is my concern Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgive my drawing (I can’t)- but I am thinking about adding a drilled cube tank that I have into my current system. Like to make it a display refugium maybe. Would this plumbing work? Any concerns with this plan? How about when the pumps are off with back flow into the sump/extra tank? I know I might need a couple valves to control the flow and a strong enough return pump.

I would say go as big as possible- I have had tanks from 15 gallons to my now 7’ 260 gallons- I also like a deeper tank- makes for more “ocean feel”- That said- I have seen a bunch of amazing nano and smaller tanks as well- but for me once I had a 6’+ tank there was no turning back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure I am following your question- any photos? I have don’t plumbing on several tanks including a couple DB 80s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a few photos- have added some fish and corals. Also added a 3rd Radion G6 and a ReefMat 1200 filter roller. You can probably tell from the pics who the star of the tank is! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Broke all down and sold it. Starting from scratch on this one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, it’s gone. There are a couple Richmond specific FB pages which are fairly active. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice touch with the orange pipes! What skimmer is that and where did you purchase? (I am in the market for a big skimmer) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome tank! What are your plans for stocking it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was looking at the captive bred one, yes. Not sure I will get one as I love zoas and softies haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
