We readily admit to having acrylic sump envy but some of them lack at least one feature we class as essential in a reef sump. Hands down acrylic sumps win in the looks department but if they can’taccommodate a roller filter, ATO reservoir, or algae refugium we go back to glass, and you can’t cut out acrylic filter sock holders like you can glass ones because the material is literally welded on the joints.
When we spotted this unconventional configuration from Geo’s Reef however we started to drool. Not only does it look super sexy in white, blue, and black gloss livery, but it has the roller filter, ATO reservoir, and fuge chamber, and to top it off it’s been configured into a cool L shape. When configured this way of course this sump won’t fit inside a standard Red Sea orWaterbox cabinet但是，将其放在水箱外面，实际上是定制的，可以在某些楼梯或单独的滤清器室的角落下适合。
Acrylic allows customization like nothing else and although this sump could have been configured into one big rectangle the ATO reservoir has been slimmed down and moved to behind the sump, while the refugium has been spun around 90 degrees and finished with a fully whited-out礁闪亮了to finish. It’s a thing of beauty.
This model should also serve to encourage customization in the sump as well as the tank department, as no two sumps should be the same, as no reefkeeper’s exacting requirements are the same. Don’t go all out on acrylic but settle for manual sock cleaning, and think about the best design to accommodate your chosen methodology. Maybe evencolor-code it to your pump or controller。您将更加满意地处理实用的污泥，如果看起来像这样，您将羡慕您的礁石朋友。它只是一块塑料，但是工程师并投资了这样的水箱，而您的坦克将是一个真正的头部转弯器，无论是在柜子上方还是下方。
