Cube Sump Answer!!!

Custom King · 01-02-2008, 11:53 PM

Hello All,

This sump was specifically designed for those who have the Cube tanks

I feel your pain when it comes to finding a decent sump

This sump's dimensions are only 17" long x 17" wide x 14" high but it packs quite a punch

It has a 1" intake bulkhead, a media reactor, refugium area (5 1/2" wide x 12" long), a regular AquaC Remora skimmer that has been modified to become an in-sump skimmer. This was done by adding a bracket in the sump to make the skimmer self-standing

There is also a return pump area to house a Mag Drive, Ocean Runner, Rio or Eheim return pump. All this in a space only 17" square. Sorry the photos do this sump justice. Unfotunately, my photo skills aren't up to par with my fabrication skills

Thanks

Thanks Fritz,

Everybody always says they're limited in regards to space. It's all about making use of the space that you do have available

Thanks

Hey... you didn't tell me about this the last time we PM... How much is it and can you mod it to hold a ATI BM 160 and holders for 2 phosband reactors? stand is 30 X 30 X 32 so the sump can be 28 x 28 at most. let me know
