Greetings to all seafarers! After two aquariums without a sump, the time has finally come for the first aquarium with a sump. The size of the aquarium, as can be seen from the topic name, is 100x60x65cm in height. If Ido another one, I will definitely make the height more than 60cm, even considering my height of 1.80m, as servicing the bottom is extremely inconvenient... I made the aquarium for my sister, who became interested in marine aquaristics when she visited me... Although, she was only interested in its beauty, which I will have to maintain. The aquarium is from Aquatica, with10mm glass and reinforcing ribs without crossbars. The sump is a triangular corner design. The overflow is Dürso on25mm pipes, with a drain, return, and emergency. The LED lighting is a RayStar ine Pro Double - 10 channels, 24.7cm wide and 100cm long, for which I am very grateful. The return pump is a Jebao DC6000. The flow pumps are Jebao FS8000 Wave Makers - 2 pcs. The rocks are C.R.K. (dry reef rocks) obtained from the store. The sand is NATURES OCEAN BIO-ACTIV LIVE ARAGONITE №1 0.5-1.7mm - 18kg. I made the sump myself, the size of which needs to be clarified. The protein skimmer is also produced by the company. Bacteria for startup are Prodibio Stop Ammo Start and Biodigest Start. For the initial salt, I used Tetra, and for water changes, I will use REEF CRYSTALS. I think that's all the equipment so far. The launch took place on 28.07.2015. And here are the photos of the ma
