Ray Sump setup?

[P.A.NativesBPM]

Sorry I this is too boring for you pete! Lol.

Anyways, when I set up my tank, 810 gallons, I plan to solely sump filter it in a 100 gallon sump. So, I was wondering, what should I put in the sump and how that would support two and eventually three rays? Also, who are some good motoro vendors on here?

Id go bigger on the sump for an 810

Sump = 10% of volume, so 100 gallons should work, depending on how its built tho. Im not into sumps so someone else has to chime in.

Look into moving filter beds. Only problem with a 100g sump on a 810g tank is how to keep the sump from overflowing when the power goes out.

You would need a bulkhead on the top, with overflow to a drain. I run a 150g sump with a Fluval fx5, and all those who has those filters, know that they stop for a few minutes every day to get rit of gass\air.. If i didnt have a bulkhead to a drain i would overflow my sump every day. When the filter stops, the water still flush down to the sump.

100 gal sump is not enough without overflow. Why make it so small, if you have space under 800 gals why not use it, I would aim for 400 at least....lads of room and volume. I would also look at moving beds if you can keep an air pump ou of the way for noise.
