Coraljunkie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello fellow reefers I have an acrylic 15 gallon wet/dry sump I am wanting to change into strictly a refugium for my 125 drilled gallon tank. I have a fairly large RIO return pump and custom flow intakes for parts. So any pics or pointers will be deeply apreciated! Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonSequitur Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I did something very similar, set a 15gal acrylic wet/dry sump up as a remote DSB and refugium/mangrove filter. Drain flow from the tank is split, with part flowing through the fuge into the sump, the rest into the skimer chamber of the sump. Initially I used a separate return pump to lift water up to the fuge, then overflow it back to the sump, but after another flood from a broken siphon I redesigned the system to be completely gravity driven. Will post some pics later in the weekend when I finish moving everything around (upgrading the display). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Rodriguez Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Polar Bear's setup looks great. You might want to get your hands on some Weldon 4 or a simular acrylic welding adhesive. A lot of people decide to go with silicone and glass. The only problem with that is it can be very unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
