330 gallon setup and sump build

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No haven't had any issues with leaking other then when I slack on changing at filter floss. It will start to drip out of the top of the drawer
Hmm then I may give this a shot. This plastic drawer will be much cheaper than making a small plexi tower
 

Tank itself is 30" wide. Subtracting the 1" on each side of metal tubing for the stand I will be left with 28" from to back. So the total footprint inside the frame will be 82"L x28"W x31"T

With that big inside frame footprint why not join 2 x 75 gals together to form a big sump. Someone on this forum joined it by 2x2holes on the side of the tank. If ur not worry about height than use a standard 125. 24" high thou. If ur not too sure if u can work with that height than make some mock up and see if it works for you.

Only reason I don't is because I don't need to. This is a 125 wide that is growing out 1 bd pup
 
I am in the process of ordering pumps. I was originally doing two Jebao DCT-12000 on my build. After bouncing around a bit I found the newer model the DCS which supposedly has a better impeller to keep it quiter and there is also the new DCP models which I remember Fish Tank Travis Fish Tank Travis using but they dont have a 12000 model, only a 10000 which I dont want to run on the higher end and a 15000 which I think will be to much flow. Any suggestions? Thinking about just sticking with the regular DCT

I would go with the DCP 15000 if I were you. You can turn it down as low as 30% and being a DC pump, it will use a lot less power that way. What kind of flow rate are you looking for?

Im looking to copy J jaws7777 300 gallon build he did. So with 1.5" gravity drains I am looking at 1400 gph. I think he was looking for 1331gph out of his build initially so I know mine will be higher with 30 more gallons added on to that
 
Imo these pumps are all adjustable and wont be a huge difference between dct, dcs, and dcp or what ever new model they come out with next week lol go for what is gonna get you near the gph range your looking for and whats most cost effective.
