Hello,
Just sharing my sump build story.
I managed to fit a 4" sock filter, a coralife 65g skimmer and a return pump all in a small Orbis recycling bin.
I had the lid cut at about 18" so it would fit the left cabinet confined space under my cheap 36" stand for my 50g. The space is 12"x13"x24".
For the return i hanged a small 2g basket on the right side.
It's been running for the last few hours without any issues.
I tested the power outage and the blocked overflow scenarios. Overflow is DIY PVC and return is 1/2 pipe with hydor rotating head with siphon break hole.
Here are some pics:
Next project up: hob refugium
