I just purchased a 40 gallon breeder and I planning on building a sump with it. All I have done today and really since I got the 40 is read about sumps\refugiums. I may be more confused than I was before. Ha!
Questions I have so far are
1. sump or refugium
2. where to set the baffles and measurements for a 40B build.
3. Do I use filter socks or not. If I do how to build this part for the flow, skimmer, and what have you.
4. Do I use glass or acrylic for the baffles
I am sure I will have more questions, but for now this is what I have. I have a 90 gallon aquarium with a SWC skimmer that has been running, but has been neglected and I am in the process of rebuilding so to speak. I am working towards a fowlr and more so at some point a reef aquarium.
If I didnt tell you something that would help give you a better idea for the sump\refugium please let me know and I will answer the best I can.
Thanks!
