my 40g breeder saltwater build

[cu0ngsayz]

Oh. Well maybe he'll add it to make his life easier hahaha

[myjohnson]

That's exactly what I used.

I found it at Walmart.

[cu0ngsayz]

Yea his sump is a 30g sump. He can probably fit one of those skinny water containers if he can find one

[myjohnson]

I had a 3" wide canister on my last tank. Fit right next to my sump.

Do you literally have zero room?

[johnnymisty]

Well the angle the tank in a corner and put it behind the stand and then its hidden no need to build anything else

[cu0ngsayz]

He's being a girl about building something to sore the container on the outside.

[myjohnson]

I lose about 1L a day.

You need to get an ATO. If you got a sump you got room for the float switches.

Just leave a canister next to the stand to store the water.

Light timer and ATO are a must have on a reef tank. If not, you really going to hate reef keeping.

[johnnymisty]

The heat from the pumps powerheads lights and such are part of what causes evap covering the Sump won't help much if you have an open top tank

[johnnytrinh]

think it would help if i cover up the top of the sump as much as i can

[cu0ngsayz]

or build something to store the ATO. like how some people put chillers outside of the stand.

[johnnytrinh]

ill just add a cup water everyday thats my only choice or get a smaller sump so theres more room for other stuff

[cu0ngsayz]

If you don't keep up your gonna run the sump dry.

[cu0ngsayz]

Build a little thing on the side that flows with the stand to store the water jug for the ATO

[johnnymisty]

Ya I loose that or more in a day with 250 watt Mh running but I have an auto top off through my ro

[johnnytrinh]

Get an ato evap is a pain in the arse

theres no more space in the stand for anything. sump pretty much fill up the whole thing. is it that normal to lose that much later though
