pco1988 July 16, 2006 Share July 16, 2006 Hey everyone, its been a while since I last posted here. Last time I was setting up my 210gal tank, and well since then I have changed the design. The "old" oceanic sump has come out and has been replaced by a new custom made sump. I plan on having water in the tank by next weekend. I will update you guys when some thing else happens. Here are some pictures of the new sump with it components: Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emissary July 16, 2006 Share July 16, 2006 Well, I'll grant you that's pretty darn impressive looking. ... What does it all DO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pco1988 July 16, 2006 Author Share July 16, 2006 Well, I'll grant you that's pretty darn impressive looking. ... What does it all DO? Well the water comes in on the right side and travels through the protein skimmer. There will be an Eheim in the first chamber for the two fluidized reactors. On the bottom there is a 1 inch gap between the bottom and the divider. Which water flows through the second chanmber and then into the last chamber and goes through the calcium reactor and out into the return pump which is feeding the UV and chiller. The tank in the middle is my top off tank and it is being feed with an RO/DI in the back room and fed using a Tunze Osmilator and is fed into the kalk stirrer into the first chamber. There is a quick explanation on how the sump works. Man that is nice. I love how it is all self-contained. Thanks Chris!!! Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgets July 26, 2006 Share July 26, 2006 I went to see Philip's tank on Monday and all I can say is... WOW! He has an AWESOME setup. And the Red Dragon pump is... Well... it's a RED DRAGON! The sump is astonishing to say the least. I have never seen such quality and attention to detail. That is all I will say. You guys need to go and see this setup.

Prunfarm July 27, 2006 Share July 27, 2006 WOW! I hope you keep the stand open, so you can see that beauty. I wish I had something close to that. Oh well, I guess I can always hope for Pimp My Sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Stearns July 28, 2006 Share July 28, 2006 WoW has been said but could be repeated. And Yep and this is why the rest of us hate to open the door to out sump area to those that have pimped up systems- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
