thats all you needed to say. the rest i didnt even bother to read. if you are the all knowing guru in the "proper" way to build a sump. do a diy and teach the world. otherwise save it.Jgray152;2689002; said:Most designs I see don't utilize the space very efficiently and im sure this is why you think im full of crap.
i have fx5 and for £165 it is the best money spent easy to install easy to clean and massive water/filter turnover you cant go wrong
i would do 2 fx5s, but i agree. best canister on the market IMHO. unfortunately out here where the OP is from, they sell for $300+. the other option is to buy them online, but shipping to hawaii costs more then youd believe. just gotta shop around.

So you are like some that don't want to learn?
BTW, the 110 liters in a 80gal sump is from a design that does not utilize the space very efficiently.
90 liters from a 55 gallon sump using space inefficiently. You can get much less but I hope you get my point.
What I am about to say I NEED to strees to anyone wanting to design a sump.
PERFORM CALCULATIONS!!!!
Length x Width x Height = Cubic Inch Volume
Volume x 0.0164 = Volume in Liters
Then figure out the flow rate you want and look at this;
Contact Time Chart
if you want to attempt to continue this ridiculous conversation feel free to PM me, but dont derail this guys thread. beat it
Derail, it has everything to do with his thread. Im letting him know he doesn't need to build a HUGE sump.
I am not going to beat it because I am trying to save members from people like you that say, bigger is not good enough go huge! Without performing any calculations at all.
Obveously you have been proven wrong.. lol. If you never said "PAL" I would be a lot nicer.

Two Fx5s equal 11 liters of bio media at 1200 GPH with 20 seconds of contact time. What happend to the 100-200 liters of bio media using a huge 80 gallon sump?i would do 2 fx5s,
I am, but im in no rush.do a diy and teach the world
your calculations are based on the volume of the sump, which would be great if you filled it to the top. unfortunately that is not how it works. again. go build one and post a thread in the DIY section, then feel free to link it here. otherwise all youre doing is running your mouth. your calculations are WRONG.
more filtration is ALWAYS better then less filtration. NUFF SAID. make it

to the OP.
just go check out the DIY section of the forum on a good sized sump design. that will be the cheapest abd best filtration for your tank. it works a lot better if you have a PH inside the display for better movement od detrius to the overflow. or better yet a HOB or canister in combination with the sump. just depends how much you want to spend.
if you can find a good priced Fx5 on ebay, those are good too. but youre gonna eat the shipping. moanalua pets and pets plus carry Fx%s for a decent price, but it might still be more then you want to spend. then again, you could always go for something like 3x ac110 HOB filters, and that should do it too. theres lots of ways to go about doing it.

WHAT?!!!! BAAHAHAHHAHA How do you figure this? Obviously you performed no calculations.
Ok here is the VOLUME OF THE ENTIRE 80 GALLON SUMP!!!! 302.8 LITERS!!
80 Gallon Tall. 48.87" Long x 14" Wide x 30.25" High
110 liters = 20" long x 13.5" Wide x 25" High = 110 Liters Bio Volume. (BTW, I MENTIONED ALL THIS ALREADY IN MY PREVIOUS POSTS THAT YOU DID NOT READ)
Also, my sump calculations are 5 inches below the top of the sump tank.
Yes, tell him to go to the DIY section because there are good DIY builds there. You should take your own advise.
