Rubbermaid sump

[suds1421]

Anyone have any links to information about freshwater sumps?

How about a good link to a rubbermaid sump (salt or fresh).

I have pleanty of room for one and am trying to decide if I should do it on my 75...

Freshwater sumps work pretty much the same way that a saltwater sump does, just without a protein skimmer. Google "Melev's Reef". Melev goes into great detail about sump design. With a little creativity, you can adapt his concepts to a Rubbermaid bin. An old aquarium makes a great sump too.

If you're going to inject CO2, a sump is a poor choice. It'll offgas all your CO2 when the water splashes. A canister filter is a better choice for CO2.
