What's in your sump/refugium

[Krish]

Almost everyone has a sump or refugium tied into their tank, but what are you using them for? Any option I may have missed can be posted here

 

[nsamouroux]

150 gallon stock tank sump, seperate 50 gallon stock tank refugium. Since the refugium is not contained within the sump, I chose "Equipment only".

 

[lvsuckerfish]

100 and 50 gallon vats 100 filled 1/2 way all equipment and some live rubble rock

Sump/Traditional Fuges no so much

I have equipment in my sumps. And I have a ecosytem mirical mud fuge.
But I also have 2 cpr fuges with dsb/crushed coral and dedicated with macro algee But they have Mated pistol shrimps with their own mated gobie pairs.
So hows that for awnser Krish.

Man...I'm still trying to figure out where you've been!! I thought you left this place

In my sump/refugium I have 70 pounds of Ecosystem Miracle Mud, some live rock and a skimmer. so I guess my tank runs more of a berlin style

 

[marlinmero]

need a equipment plus macro only section

Fixed an option for you. Equipment plus 1 or more....

 

[deangelr]

alright this is a little silly.. how could you possibly have a sump with no equipement?

 

[marlinmero]

can i revote then? lol

LOL!! It's not a silly question. You have some people out there who just use their sumps as a means of increased water volume and that's it. I wouldn't call a return pump equipment so a sump with just liverock, sand, macro etc but no skimmer, calcium reactor etc IMO is "without equipment"

can i revote then? lol

I can fix it for you...Which did you vote for? I will just remove one vote from that list and add it where you want your vote to go

For my 75g DT I use a 40R acrylic 4/5 lit fuge & 1/5 cryptic fuge without any equipment. 24/7 lit section has 'Miracle Mud' and a mix of macro sectioned off by a black divider into return/cryptic side with bio-balls then external Iwaki pump.
IMO a large enough fuge to DT ratio to actually consume nutrients from my overstocked and overfed system.

I have been running minimal cheto and minimal sand in my sump... Using a "gas off" system where my return pump is ball valved to spit on top of the sponge between the chambers... been up and running for about 4 months. so far so good

100 gallon sump with built in 20 gallon fuge. 3 types of macro in fuge. Heaters, skimmer, and calcium reactor in sump.
