Input On My 10G D.I.Y Sump

[xxxAngeloxxx]

Hello can some tell me if my 10g is set up the correct way or not? This sump will be for my 29G. This is a sketch of what I have done yet this isn't the finish product. Well here is my sketch sump picture some feedback would be appreciated thanks. Sorry I could not make the picture big enough forget to change the inches on the page set up :banghead:

Any one ?

switch the fuge/sump and the drain and skimmer section

 

[Master Shake]

i also dont think you will have room for all of that in a 10 gallon, the sections will be on the rather small side

Why its wouldn't work like that? As for space its only going to be the pump and skimmer

 

[bartmalave]

u didnt take into comsidaratin the dimensions of ur skimmer and pump. u shoul make use an enternal pump giving u more room for skimmer and fuge

 

[garys reef]

i agree with master shake switch the drain and skimmer section

The reason to switch the skimmer because you want divides to prevent bubbles to go back to return pump. To put all those divides in small sump is going to take up a lot of room. I would go with 20 gal sump. Petco got $1 gal sale going on.

+1 on switching the sections. If you have the drain in the middle and the return pump on the left, how is the water from the fuge gonna make it to the return pump? You should have the drain on the right, fuge in the middle and then your return after the bubble trap. I also agree with going with a 20 long. A 10 gal is gonna be a PITA to get all that stuff into. Good luck with it

oh so i just have a few miner changed to then huh not a big deal right now? But are the baffle the right way?

 

[fishman1069]

You dont need the 2 baffles on the right. I would do the one baffel on the right and then the bubble trap(3 baffles) on the right

 

[xxxAngeloxxx]

Alright well i redid the picture i hope this time im in the right way :banghead:

 

[fishman1069]

Nope! Lol Put the bubble trap right before the return section.

And put the single baffle on the other side. Basically just reverse your diagram

Looks good. Just make sure you know what skimmer you want and the footprint, so you can make that chamber the correct size. Good luck bro. We want pics when your done with it!
