I have a 39 gallon tank and now I'm adding a 20 gallon sump. What kind of light do I need? Plan to put live sand and rock and Algae in sump.
SKAustin said:Here's a look at my new sump as it sits awaiting the test run. Ive
incorporated a few new ideas into this sump over the previous. The inlet
section is covered to drastically reduce the Salt Creep from inlet and
skimmer bubbles. The increased width of the bubble trap slows the water
travelling through it thus allowing for more of the finer micro bubbles to
stay within the covered chamber. It also allows for easier cleaning of that
section. The Flex-hose in the return section should eliminate noise
transfer from the return pump. Suction cups were also installed on the
base of the return pump to reduce noise transfer. Ive also incorporated a
filter sock and bracket to reduce the detritus build-up in the sump. and
finally, the tank was upgraded to a 30 gallon long, allowing for 33% larger
chambers.
