What is a sump?

A sump is a separate tank placed below your main aquarium. It houses various filtration components, providing a cleaner, more efficient environment for your marine life.

Why should i use a sump?

  • Increased Filtration: Sumps allow for more filtration options like protein skimmers, refugiums, and chemical filtration.
  • Equipment Storage: Hides unsightly equipment like heaters, pumps, and controllers.
  • Water Stability: Helps maintain stable water parameters.
  • Emergency Overflow: Prevents flooding in case of equipment failure.

What size sump do i need?

The general rule of thumb is to have a sump that's 25-30% of your main aquarium's volume.

For example, if you have a 100-gallon tank, a 25-30 gallon sump would be a good starting point.

However, there are factors to consider beyond this basic guideline:

Factors Affecting Sump Size:

  • Available space: Your tank stand's dimensions will limit the sump size.
  • Desired equipment: The more equipment you plan to include (skimmer, refugium, reactors), the larger the sump you'll need.
  • Water volume: A larger sump can help stabilize water parameters.

Additional Considerations:

  • Bigger is often better: While a smaller sump can work, a larger one provides more flexibility and benefits.
  • Overflow capacity: Ensure your sump can handle the water volume from your main tank in case of a power outage.
