Hi Guys and Gals,
After a long deliberation on sump filter design and looking at pricing, especially importing the fancy ones like the Trigger and so, I have decided to first build a prototype for testing purpose and there after build to order.
The Trigger 39 which is 990mm long costs around R7 500 excluding importing and customs duties, and based on this, my design will more than likely be a third of the price.
The sump has an adjustable baffle plate which can be adjusted to suit your skimmer, this from 5 inches all the way to 9 inches.The sump will have a built in holder for 2 to 3 x 4 inch filter sock holders which is easy removable. First chamber will accommodate your skimmer, second chamber for live rock or media of choice, forth chamber a coarse foam to collect any big particles and below for either matrix or other final media, forth chamber will house your return pump.
The main body of the sump will be from glass with black silicon and perspex inners will be made from your choice of available colors.
Please note this will be a complete sump assembly excluding any filter media, skimmers, return pumps or media reactors, provision will be made for 4 x dosing points.
Shipping will be for buyers account and deliver will be about 1-2 weeks from date of confirmation.
Custom size sump filters can also be made according to your requirements.
