Hello there, I am jumping back into Saltwater after being out of the fish game for a few years.
I've decided to use a 40 gal breeder as my display tank and I have an old 55 gallon I've planned on making into my basement sump.
Just looking for any advice on my design.
Chambers left to right,
First will have the display tank feeding into a filter sock and protein skimmer. Second chamber is the refugium, I was planning on using chaeto and pods from algea barn.
Third chamber is a the return pump.
Lastly the fourth is where I'll have a top off section.
I was planning on doing 2 inch spaces between the baffles with 2 inches from the bottom on the ones that are raised.
I've tried to do a lot of research on this sump to make it efficient and easy to maintain. I'd be happy to hear any feedback from the community. This is my first post so sorry for the long rant but thank you for your time.
