Done,what a job.Marc I don't know how you do it!So this is my 1st sump.The fuge is on the right that is supplied through a bubble stackthat drains out 2.5" off the bottom.The skimmer section is on the the left that has a section for the drain to go through a filter sock.I might add a little LR rubble there to.It goes out through 3 baffles.Regular sump/fuge design with a small twist to it.I added a ATo float too and drilled a hole for my chiller probe next to that.

You are going to use a submersable pump right? I remember we talked before, and with this design you can't use an external pump unless you put it off one of the flat sides. You won't be able to put a uniseal in that corner...plus, that'll ruin your joint in that corner.

Other than that.... Looks good! I like it a lot, and I'm sure under a corner tank, it'll work perfect for you!

Yes I unfortunatly decided to put the pump in the return section.I'm using a mag 9.5 .Only thing that stinks is this thing can't be pulled in and out through the front.Through the top only.

I don'y know,I might have enough room.I will have to go though the fuge and through the divider into the return section.It will all come down to if I can get a union in there or not.Got to have a way to do maintenace.http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w157/laddybugmnm/DSCF0051.jpg

Just put your union up a little higher. You'll be able to fit one in there!
