Anyone here ever built their own custom acrylic sump and care to show pictures? If I get the tank I'm hoping I can get I want to look at building my own acrylic sump....
I'm in the process of designing and building two acrylic sumps right now, using a CNC router table. Modeling panels at the moment. I'll share pics and details as I go.
Baffles before the return section? Should be high, them low or floating then on the bottom panel.Just finished fabricating this sump for my awesome brother. Perfect fit for his stand. Made all the flat pattern files in Aspire and cutout on a CNC router table. Made only one mistake. But it won't affect function. Let's see if anyone spots it.
First of many sumps I'll be making.
I robbed alot of this from a trigger systems sump geometry, and just scaled it. I'm aware there is no need to run the second baffle into the return, but I saw it as a method of adding a level of mechanical filtration to keep any macro algae from getting into the DT from the return. The perforated shelf is there to hold a foam filter block if one chooses.Baffles before the return section? Should be high, them low or floating then on the bottom panel.
