so just thinking about sump ideas. here's mine. my bubble wall is a bit too tall but it does give me extra water for my biomedia.

yeah if I was doing this one again. I'd eliminate the very first baffle all the way to the right. the one that separates the sock and skimmer. that one is totally unnecessary.
the other thing is that the baffle directly left of the skimmer (bubble wall) is the one that sets the water height - bubble wall is two pieces of glass - the one to the father right of the two runs down to the floor and is a bit too high and I had to raise the skimmer. luckily there was enough room under the stand to do it.

I wanted the 44” and probably still would’ve had room but it was about savings and I had a hard enough time getting the 36” in so the 44” would’ve been much harder.

i give them a good cleaning every 6 months or soKeep an eye on the media bags you have in there, they can easily get clogged with detritus and become nitrate factories.otherwise, looks good!
Not a very good pic but just a plain old sump with 2 socks, 2 bio blocks, and soon to be clearwater scrubber.

so im going to be installing something like this on my 210 when i get it fixed - converting it from reef ready to peninsula. whats your take on those drain valves? normally i just see one.Not a very good pic but just a plain old sump with 2 socks, 2 bio blocks, and soon to be clearwater scrubber.
Not sure what you mean by my take on the drain valves. this is an old pic but I have the overflow box setup with the herbie pipes and I just use the 2 drain valves to adjust the height of the water inside the box. tank runs dead silent! I will try to get some better pics.

I guess I have two sumps in my system. My original DT sump that is fed from the DT and a nem tank to the main sump, and the main sump.
