I've been looking for a good excuse to use that image for some time now

And props to the sweet sump built by a 14 yr old that looks better than mine does. I am a tad over 14 - I just don't act it all the time.

Ok, I just installed my new NW-150, so I'm not quite so embarrassed of my sump now :roll: . It's about a 15 gallon sump and a 5 gallon remote refugium under a 72 bowfront. I have the skimmer plumbed back to the return section (kind of like a recirculating sump). Also notice the bag of carbon under the baffel, and the custom stand for the 'fuge.

Well here is my first attempt at a DIY sump. I am a little scared that i made the skimmer section to small. It does fit but it is a little tight. The skimmer goes on the right and return pump in the middle.

As we look at the picture--I assume that the skimmer is actually on the left before the bubble trap. Correct?

 

[ckwatson]

yes it will be on the left. I was hoping no one would notice i got that wrong

 

[gwhiz]

I won't tell! :shout:

Mine's the same design....I'll post a pic as soon as I can get down to take one....
