looks like a very well thought of sump. very compartmentalized and skimmer is far away from the return pump.

a couple of queries.

1) +1 with Wilson on the vent hole/s in the sump. I think the work is not completed when you took the photos.

2) hmmm yours is a 3 feet width tank. Would side doors make your access to the inner part of the sump easier?

3) The orientation of the sump is also not rightly placed yet right? I notice there is a hole on the sump. That is for the main tank return piping which should be nearer to the back of the cabinet.

4) Your skimmer height seems quite high too... is it difficult to remove the collection cup? Or u will be using waste collector?

nice looking sump terryz.. hahah yeah I agree with the side doors, I once saw a tank whereby the bottom cabiinet had all 4 doors being able to open and it made reaching in to get those HARD to reach areas so much easier. :P I think you gave lemon an adrenaline rush.. :P

Keep us updated!!! We are the only bunch of peeps who would slaivate over a glass partition sump tank! :P

Cheers, ;)

This is designed by Vincent...

The work is still not done yet...

This is actually the side door, I din make a front door but i can access right to the back from 1 side...

This is how the sump will be like when all the piping is connected...The return is quite big and will be a lot of problem if it is place in the back of the cabinet... Anyway, got a lot of flow to play with since the flowrate is 3500GPH, a little headloss wun hurt much... LOL...

Yup, this i didnt take into consideration when i was making the cabinet and also the footprint was wrong... But luckily, the sump can be shifted a bit to make me able to take out the collection cup...

Cant do the side door liao... But in the first place i was the one who rejected the idea of have 2 way access..

try drilling the rocks and cabletie them up. Really good for scaping.

That scape was very nice.

Might be trying out again.. My dad ask me to put cement in between the rocks... Becos i only fill in between the rocks from the front... Never put any cement from behind.. Wrong method i guess..

Will try the cabletie method too///

alternatively you can use epoxy and cable tie them while the epoxy cures. then do the individual rockscape on syrofoam or a hard plastic. so you can easily transfer to your tank.

drilling works too but you must know how to drill properly and slowly and where otherwise you will break your rocks into more pieces then good game.
