I'm getting ready to start my upgrade to a 90 with a 40 gallon breeder sump.
I already have the 90 gallon and the 40 breeder sump. However I need to modify my sump for saltwater since I was initially using it for my freshwater planned tank sump.
I have put together a list of things I plan to get. Suggestions, comments, and opinions are welcome.
