Anybody have pictures of there 110 Gallon Sumps?

Hey Everyone,

My cousin purchased a 110 gallon tank from a fellow member here and is now considering getting it ready to be used. We are unsure what would be the best sump as we do know bigger is always better but would like to see what other members are doing as well as their baffles and media used.

Thanks would appreciate it, the inside dimensions are 47 inches wide by 16 so the typical 18 inch wide tanks won't be able to fit.

Would like to get the details first before going on a tank/sump hunt lol

Doing some research looks like the best bet would be in the 30 gallon range, on glass cages they sell 38 gallon tall 36x12.5x17 for $79

Would this work effectively?

I have 110 60x18x? Can't remember the height, but I do have a 30 long as my sump.....I have three compartment a foot wide each......1st I have my drain, sock filter and skimmer.....2nd I have live sand, miracle mud, live rock, tons of cheato and 3rd I have my UV, phosban reactor.and return.pump feeding into my chiller before going back into the tank

Sounds like an interesting set up. Do you have pics or a video of both your tank and sump?

Here is my 40 breeder , I put the pump in center so the skimmer would not take out goodness of the fuge. my only flaw is the pump chamber is to small evaporation wise or if I take out a 2 gallons .

Nice setup pics defiantly tell 1000 words lol. So you have the fugue of to left side?

Does the water overflow when the tank is drained?

Just curious if a 40 gallon breeder is too short.

Hey thanks for all your info and pics. My cousin just texted me and said he is going to start getting the 110 ready.

--He asked me about pump size, what size pump do you think would be prefect for this size tank?
