Sump Blue Prints / Pics

Would anyone be willing to share their cad drawings of their large custom sumps?

I need to get one ordered soon, and I am struggling with the design.

Pics of the sump work too, but would be great for a drawing as they are easier to see what is going on.

Tank it will be hooked up to is a 300 deep dimension.

Really appreciate it.

Junior

Junior,

Best is to first understand what you want in a Sump. Below I attached some good reading materials and some designs of sumps.

Once you have the understanding of what a sump does and what you want to achieve from it, you can easily design your own.

Melevreef.com is a good site to check out different sump design. He is also a sponsor here so you can go to the sponsor forum if you would like to order a sump from him.

Another good sump design with detail diagram for easy understand....

Meanwhile, this is my current sump I'm using for my 300-g reef.
