ANYWAYS I have a 55g display tank and have constructed a DiY Refugium/sump from another 55g. So the idea here is to connect the sump with an overflow box and pump, already purchased, but I'm concerned about adding in the new sump.
In the 55g I have about 120lb LR and in the tank is a yellow tang zebra bar goby da finch clown blue damsel and yellow tale damsel. With HOB skimmer and filter
I'm going to have a DSB in the fuge and plan on adding about 10-20lbs in the fuge and after about a month add my macro algaes and Copepods
The last piece of the puzzle is choosing a mechanical filter for when the water leaves the overflow box, I've considered a DiY rotter tube (screw on PVC filter floss holder) or using what I have constructed in the picture and is sitting in the input, basically an egg crate box with four stories. Which I would but different mediums on each level, still deciding the best move.
Besides that looking for advice on incorporating the sump and any other advice
And before I forget the tang recently was given/forced upon me when I got him he was eating well and patrolling the tank like a yellow tang should however after about 2 weeks, maybe longer he has developed a dark patch behind his eye on one side and is behaving more skiddish so I can't really get a picture, his nutrition is not the best for a tang so I bought a seaweed clip and seaweed just waiting for delivery. Not quite sure what I'm battling with this guy.
