Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

So instead of doing a sump fuge I’m turning the 10g into a display fuge next to the tank. Who is good with plumbing layout that can help me design and plan everything out

Do you have a sump already? If so you can set up the 10g slightly lower than the main display, have your overflow go into the display fuge and then the overflow from the fuge go into your sump.

Oh yeah it’s Lower. My sump is a 20l. I was originally think about having it go from overflow in dt to sump to return to half fuge and half dt. Fuge drains back into return chamber

Wait but then the water from the fuge will have to go straight to the return chamber because the pods will get filtered out in the skimmer

You could run a second line from your return into the fuge... like this.

That’s what I was planning on doing. Then that water over flows from the fuge to return chamber

All of you should go to my build thread and let’s blow it up like this one

@Will Godfrey I know you said you needed some carbon. Are you using purigen and carbon? Show me what size you want.

 

[SashimiTurtle]

How is the tank looking?

 

[Katrina71]

Better. A lot more zoas opened yesterday. Gsp is about 50% open and Xenia still looks mad. The neon leather is finally looking good.

 

[Scurvy]

Good news!

 

[brett_schn]

@Will Godfrey I should have a ton of bags of carbon that I don’t need. When I find them they are all urs

So what you're saying is you'll be ready for some frags soon.

That's awesome Brett!

 

[brett_schn]

Let’s make this active!

 

[brett_schn]

What lights should I try to save for to be used on the 40b. Either hydra 26hd x2, radion g4 xr15 g4 x2 or kessil a360we x2 or another lighting suggestions. Mainly an sps tank. Also I get the hydras for $250 and radions for $300 a peice and the kessils will also be around $300 each

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Any of those will grow SPS just fine.

Yeah. I’m kinda trying to find the one with the most pros and the least cons

 

[Katrina71]

Are you set on those? I see lots of people going the T5 hybrid route. Not sure what would be the best. Lighting is a bit above my head.
