ShrimpShack Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I feel like there are a lot of advantages of having a multiple tanks sharing a same water using the sump system. One filtration, one heater, one pump, less work on water changes and top offs. What do you guys think? RidallWek and SurraGync 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 +1 abovea, you need to drill holes in the tank to lead to the sump then you have to fo all the pipe work and get the intake and outflow right, is they aren't the sump will over flow.

Shrimpo Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 I am currently running a sump system and it works great, you need to be careful when introducing new shrimp/plant to the system though to prevent spreading any disease. In my case I used small acrylic tanks that are easy to drill, I also used rubber hoses to drain the water from one tank to the other. http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/1024-wire-shelves-shrimp-rack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
