Dream Reef Tank Sump!!! 

The best sump I've ever seen.

I can’t wait to see this tank running man. What a build so far. Love the videos.

Awesome sump. Well thought out layout and I love the simple colours which match the tank beautifully. Cant wait to see it fine tuned and in action

That is one hell of a sump. Holy smokes. Can’t wait to see this thing running!

Looking forward to seeing it all put together. Congratulations on your dream tank looks beautiful.

What an amazing sump. The whole setup so far is incredible. Well envious.

Such an Amazing sump design, love how clean and simple it is.

Amazing video love the reef. You have me rethinking my sump design for my new reef build

The King of sumps. That is excellent.

Great build well thought out looking forward to next video

Absolutely awesome build Sam, and Eric really is a master craftsman. Perfection. 😀👍👍

I absolutely love the plumbing layout. No need to have pipes running everywhere and less bends for head pressure. Great design

Nicely Done! Turned out stunning..as expected. Awesome man👍

Eric is an artist! This is one amazing sump. I actually think it is a very good value. Congratulations.

This popped up as suggested video, very impressive sump!

That is an awesome sump. Enjoy!

Congrats Sam! So excited for you! Also makes me even more excited to get mine which is coming soon!

Fantastic...covers all the requirements in minute detail.

Beautiful sump! Never thought a sump can look that good.

Fantastic sump Parker😉 . Look forward to seeing it working.

Holy smokes man that thing is impressive!!

Wow that really is a dream sump. You've thought through everything! enjoy

Beautiful functional sump Sam. Well built and I like how each part of the sump serves each purpose. Love that filter roller & how you can program it.

Wow that is awesome great looking sump 👍🏼

Impressive build. Best wishes from the Rock of Gibraltar on the other side of the globe - look forward in seeing your next steps to a future reef set-up.

Congrats what an amazing looking sump!!!!

Beautiful SUMP, I am jealous. Cheers!

Brilliant sump Sam piece of art gonna be good this 👍👍👍

Top notch Sam. You must be stoked. Epic workmanship Eric. Hat of for top quality

All of the bulk heads!! Hmahli such a premium product. Looks great, looking forward to how the sump as well as the tank goes.

Man...talk about a dream sump. Love the idea using the tubes for algae tumble!

Eric is a great guy and does quality work! His a local to me, Good to see some quality reef gear being produced here in Wollongong

Wow, that is one epic sump and actually looks like it cost more than what you paid. Something as custom and well designed as that will all add to the wow factor of your dream tank. Well done Sam and looking forward to the next stages.

Amazing sump congratulations 😀

Parker, that is absolutely amazing. I'm excited to see what it looks like and it's not even my tank. Happy reefing to you of Southern California.

Sam this is second to none mate. If I said I wasn’t a lil jealous I’d be lying! Cracking build mate, top quality as usual bud. Can’t wait to see the progress.

Looking forward to seeing this fully plumbed, mostly to see how you run the crazy amount of bulkhead lines.

Very very nice my friend

Hey mate, amateur reefer here from Sydney. Just stumbled on your channel and this video! I'm so inspired! Amazing setup!! Will check out your other vids and follow your journey! 👍🏻👍🏻

Incredible Setup...

Another great vid. Congrats on the new sump mate 👏

Love that fuge section

Only This amazing sump would suit this amazing video series

Soooo beautiful

Certainly looks “the nuts” Sam, looking forward to the tank getting wet!!

Great work mate, just started in this hobby with my reef tank and already a big fan of yours. May God bless you and the family.

It's a lovely set up bud happy for you I want to make my dream tank to but moving hopefully soon ones we get our new house I will be building it cant wait to see your tank with water 💦 ;)

Absolutely 💯 amazing sump dude

I left after you said its not the cat, i will thumbs up anyway.

Yes I love your video and your ideas your setup enjoy for life

This is exactly what I want for my dream tank

I’ve never been so aroused by an acrylic box!

Yes, beautiful in design and implementation ;-)

Amazing congrats !

Awesome sump. Sumps now a days look better than the displays

I dont know what to say Sam....... I'm jealous, envious of your design, envious you got a Hmahli sump🥰, envious of the pumps 😱, you can stop now 😂. Great choice mate, you can't go wrong with Eric's gear, love the name etched, tops it off 👌

Super impressed. The air flow through the bio media is interesting, basically a ‘reverse trickle filter’ lol. It will at the very least be good for oxygenation.

So pretty

Looks absolutely perfect. Great design. I, personally, do not use filter rollers... but great design.

That look so clean, welll worth the price

I'll enjoy watching this build come together. I purchased only a 41 gallon waterbox and its a work in progress. Its been dry several months as I research and build a mixing station. Im in no hurry and am taking things slowly. I should finally be putting water in it in a few weeks and will let it cycle for a month or two. Can't wait to put a few fish in it and then frags in 4 months or so

this hobby is going crazyyyyy $$$

That's a real work of art, I just hope new aquarists watching this don't think that all this stuff is necessary. This is the Rolls Royce of sumps, the Ford of sumps will do just fine.

Hi beautiful happy for you dream built 👍🔥🔥🔥

Grate , im hopeing to have reef tank of my owen soon in the process getting parts for my reef Project ,some day ill have a set up my owen meny thanks Matthew

Another awesome video

Really nice buddy. Good luck with it.

Allot of thought went into it, some I like some I don’t, good luck!

The most beautyfull sump i have ever seen. At first i thought that the kessil is for fraqs. Greetings from germany

Wtf damn that is one hell of a sump you have there looks like one of those only 5 made limited edition. You gonna make other reefer remake their sump all over again with auto baffle up n down. I love it and I'm sure many will also after watching this video thumbs 👍 up all the way.

That is a gorgeous sump On your RODI system add a delay relay and a second solenoid valve so when your sump reservoir calls for more water the system will send the first bit of waters to the drain instead of the sump reservoir. My solenoid for this bypass is located prior to the DI resin to not waster resin on the TDS creep water.

Gorgeous and I am super jelly. I would like to offer a tip. That light for the refugium is going to cause coralline algae to grow on our skimmer. It did on my sump. I added another divider for the light to prevent it from shinning light in the areas of the tank that you dont want things to grow......SUPER SEXY SETUP. I love this tank, stand, and sump....I agree on the filter pad, its true it will attract detritus but its also an easy clean with a ton of positive reasons why to have it on there.

Let's see it runs... can't wait.

So friggin cool 👍👍👍 that is sump thing 😃

Beautiful sump and great job thinking out placement of all your hardware. The only concern that I have is in the racetrack before the filter roller. I can see detritus building up in it overtime so hopefully it is relatively easy to be able to suck it clean. I have always seen with the roller filter the water going strait into the chamber that the roller mat is in. Other than that I am jealous of your set up and wish it was mine.

That is an incredible setup. Probably more money than my whole 40 breeder reef setup that I'm working on.

I’m subbed absolutely beautiful build for sure 🤙🏼

Money doesn't buy happiness but it can buy you some really sweet equipment.

That’s a BEAUTIFUL. Sump 👍👍👍

Thats simply put. Second to none

That is a Beauty ! Ya it's expensive but over a short time that cost won't even be a thing anymore. Planning/building takes time but well worth it. We can see that in your system. Great job ! Pro tip: on any media reactors outputs place a tee and two valves so you can purge initial new media start up tank water rinse into a waste bucket and not into your tank. Ya know carbon dust etc. When the water is running clean then direct it back into system. I'm building my dream system right now too: 48"x 32"x 20" tall Lagoon(CA earthquake's). 37 years reefing, still learning. I'm running two L1's witch are way more than I need and so :Tip #2 closed loops into sump w/valves for both those adjustable return pumps so they can stretch their legs.Churning water is great for aeration. Bla Bla Sorry. CA USA

Beautiful sump. I want to cry 😢 💰$$$$$$$

PIMPIN' sump just a little Jellis of it.😎

Legend says that simply standing near the sump is enough to cure all diseases

Love it! You might figure out a way to create a proper seal for the media chamber lid. Maybe some type of rubber strips. That salt is gonna find its way out of there.

WOW WOW WOW... Awesome sump.. Honestly thought it would have been more than 4K given the design phase as well.. so so pretty and shiny.. Almost a shame to fill it with salt water and get it all gunked up.. You will spend the next 20 years trying to keep it looking as clean as Andy"s sumps at Fishworld LOL

Very nice impressive . Top quality must b stocked n so keen to get running. I’d be working all nite to get going 😀😀😂😂

I borrowed the idea for your fuge light mounting solution 😁

Nice broo

sump looks huge until you put it under tank. Looks awesome bro! can't wait to see it up and running. Kinda sad there's no olive in the video tho :P hehe. keep up the great work

Nice..

Bigger than my main aquarium 😍

Looks amazing, well done mate and very well thought out! With the elevated TDS from your RODI at start-up, have you considered using a flush solenoid valve and delay timer relay? When your RODI fill solenoid comes on, use that signal to trigger the delay timer relay to turn on, then it will automatically turn off again after a user-defined period of time. The flush solenoid valve connects to the RODI waste line, basically replacing the manual flush valve, and has a small inbuilt adjustable valve (via a plastic Phillips head screw) so that when closed it still lets a small amount of water through as the normal waste. When energised it opens up to flush the RO membrane. The delay timer relay modules and flush valves are both available on eBay / Aliexpress. Just a suggestion to eliminate that issue :)

That looks great. Instead of using sponge or filter floss in the narrow section to trap any rogue chaeto, have a look at Japanese matting. It’s used in pond filters, isn’t overly fine so won’t clog, and it’s quite rigid, so is really easy to take outside and hose clean. I used it in my freshwater sump to contain K1 media, and it worked really well.

That sump makes me wish I'm parkersreef's clown fish 😉

Awesome sump mate ! Could you make a video on how you set up your auto water changes & RO top up? I have a waterbox peninsula 6025 on the way would like to know how I can get water to and from the tank. Cheers

I think 4k aus is value! Very lucky man.

Mate! looking extraordinary awesome. Waiting for your structure to be build. What type of rocks you are looking at😉

Best sump I have seen was jsreef display refugium sump

DIRTIES PART OF MY SUMP IS RETURN CHAMBER , HAVING IT THE BACK WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE.
