RED SEA REEFER 350 SUMP REFUGIUM DESIGN REEF TANK

hi guys, just sharing the next steps here with the red sea reefer 350 build project. In this episode, we assemble everything in the sump area. This sump has 2 aquamaxx reactors along with a Coralife Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizer. I have the skimmer, heater, and ATO in another episode. Pipes are blue from bulkreef supply. I purchased the tank used from Johnson check him out on IG https://instagram.com/reefer.jc?utm_s...

MORE INFO ON SUMPS AND REFUGIUM IF YOU WANT TO READ UP.

"In fishkeeping, a refugium is an appendage to a marine, brackish, or freshwater fish tank that shares the same water supply. It is a separate sump, connected to the main show tank.[1] It is a "refugium" in the sense that it permits organisms to be maintained that would not survive in the main system, whether food animals, anaerobic denitrifying bacteria, or photosynthesizers. For some applications water flow is limited in order to protect plants or animals that require slow flow. The refugium light cycle can be operated opposite to the main tank, in order to keep total system pH more stable (due to the uptake of acid-forming CO2 by photosynthesis occurring in the refugium during its "daylight" hours). One volume guideline for a refugium is 1:10 main tank volume.

A refugium may be used for one or more purposes such as denitrification, nutrient export, plankton production, circulation, surface agitation to improve oxygen exchange with the atmosphere or even aesthetic purposes." - WIKI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugiu...)

"In fishkeeping, a sump is an accessory aquarium tank in which mechanical equipment is kept.[1][2] A remote sump allows for a clutter-free display tank.

It is found mainly in a reef aquarium or marine aquarium. The sump sits below, behind, or (less typically) on a support above the main tank, and is used as a filter, as well as a holding place for unsightly, miscellaneous equipment such as protein skimmers, calcium reactors, and heaters. The main advantage of having a sump plumbed into an aquarium is the increase of water volume in the system, making it more stable and less prone to fluctuations of pH and salinity, and also mitigating the effects of nutrient buildup or the unintentional introduction of foreign substances. In addition, some sumps have a compartment that can be converted into a refugium, helping to filter out excess nutrients such as nitrates.

A sump can also improve aeration of the water in the aquarium. Water movement between the sump and the display tank helps with gas exchange between the water and air. Increased dissolved oxygen is beneficial to fish and can also aid in avoiding Cyanobacteria outbreaks" - wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sump_(a...)
