    Sump Designs....

    in Do It Yourself

    Posted · Edited by Myvirtue

    i added the filter pad to my pump. but the bubbles still got through, but when i decreased my return pump and overflow and add another filter pad in the baffle, the micro bubbles stopped i only have a mag 12 running on 120 gallon tank. Im assuming that my overflow is over 5foot 7inches tall might cause more flow due to gravity?.

    well i didnt mean high rate. just saying im only using a mag 12 atm and my baffles arent keeping up with it, so i have to turn it down alot, to keep the bubbles out of my tank. im thinking i need to pull out the baffles and put more space in between them maybe or redesign it

    Im gonna redo my sump soon since its not built correctly for high volume movement. I currently have a 50 gallon sump/fug. my overflow is divided so that some of it goes into my fuge. My fuge is on the left side. the middle is my return pump and the right side is the skimmer and where 98% of my overflow goes. Currently my sump can only handle moderate flow and i have to limit my pump to keep the bubbles from going into my tank. Im thinking about changing my design where my fug is in the middle, the left side would be where my return pump would go and the right side would stay as my skimmer and overflow drain, or should i keep the same design and the make the space between by baffles wider? here are pics below to show u what i currently have. Im ok with either design i just need it to be effective for high rates of flow. Ive been looking all over the internet and i guess i havent found the right design to go by. Im just looking for something basic and i was wondering if anyone had any designs or new a good place to look, and yes i looked and melevs site.
