My sump is pretty much done.. just gotta throw some LR rubble in there and some cheato eventually.. oh and I have to modify the stand for my skimmer.. sitting too high up right now
SeanMonster said:Dan, looking great!! I'm guessing that as hard as its been to get to this point, I'm betting its going to mean that much more to you when it's done. I was going to mention one thing. My lfs recommended that I not put rubble in the sump. They said keep it as clean as possible. I'm sure some here would disagree but I took their advice and have been running great for over 6 months.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
I heard from my lfs that the best way to do it is some chaeto and 1 piece of dry rock. Not rubble, just 1 medium sized clean piece.
Either choice is fine but I like the single medium sized rock idea. You can just use your least favorite rock in the pile. There's usually one oddball rock in every tank.

Just be on your toes when you turn on the plumbing lol always the risk of a leak
If you can shut the valves you should be able to drain and dry the the baffle. The silicon and reinforce it. I've never done that but it should work
