Building a 125 reef.
It will only house a carpet nem, pair of saddlebacks, 6 line Wrasse and maybe another fish or two. Minimal fish, nothing big. As I work on sump/fuge design I have come across a few ideas and wanted to pass this along and see if anyone thought good or bad.
Make the sump a dual fuge. One side Chaeto and other macro algae. The other side Xenia. Each overflow feeds an end of the fuge. The return would be in the middle. (because I want it there if for no other reason)
If I do this do I really need a skimmer? It will already be a minimal bioload so would I starve the Xenia using a skimmer?
