Staghorns will prevail
I support the frag option as well.
A refugium for nutrient export is not always a great success and depends a lot about the later decisions on livestock and quantities and even skimmer.
Still, as long as you keep the space available, you can later still see to convert the refugium into a frag tank or other way around.

Thank you so much for your input Janci ! So I have two votes for the frag/fuge option . I am still not yet totally decided on live stock . But my Skimmer on the other hand is decided , a Tunze 9410 , and I am thinking I may buy the DC pump upgrade a little later but I am going to start with this skimmer and from there see how it performs and does. I have thought a lot about just having the baffle in place for either fuge or Frag section . So I may go that route

Thanks 915MANG ! I am a local Reefer indeed , just on the Northeast side of town . Maybe once I get going we can start Coral/Frag trades and etc lol
Looking good! I went with typical sump- socks, skimmer, large fuge and return chamber. Don't have enough experience one way or the other, lol but figured this set up has been working for a lot of people.
Good Luck on NCLEX. I will be thinking of you on the second. The advice I give everybody is there WILL be something you don't know don't panic! Take a deep breath and look at each option and eliminate using what you know. If still unsure Safety first or what will kill the patient first. Sorry to hijack but I know how nerve wrecking the NCLEX is!

Thank you very much cycled123 , for letting me know what you choose for your System. Right now I am really leaning toward doing the fuge/Frag section in my sump design !
Thank you for friendly tips about the NCLEX , my nerves as starting to get to me I feel . Every now and then I feel I need to take deep breaths and relax, just to help me relax for it and not get all worked up. I know on the NCLEX safety usually always trumps everything .. so I think it’s a good fall back .. thank you again !

Hey everybody (R2R) I hope you all are having a great start to a new and great 2018! So as you all know I started off this new year by taking my NCLEX Exam / State Nursing Exam on the 2nd of January!
I have the news and now it has come in after lots of studying , in prep for the exam through tons of ups and downs of nursing school and being a full time father / stay home dad I am officially done with my LVN program. After 4 hours of testing and answering 220 questions later the results are in with a official PASS on my PN-NCLEX !
I am officially a Licensed Vocational Nurse in the State or Texas ...
I will start looking for Jobs in this new week to come , so please wish me all the best of luck durning Job hunts !
Thank you all so much (R2R) for being a outlet for me this last year or so to help me escape a few of my nursing school stress , by allowing me to be a part of this great Reefing community!
I am looking forward to what the future my build still has to come and see the progress of my build and the progress of all your builds in this new year!
Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement on this Embarking of my Journey!

Congrats Clayton...and good luck with the job seeking!!!
CONGRATS!!!!! And good luck on the job hunt! I know how hard the journey to become a nurse is. Now you just have to survive the first year in nursing lol! It's actually not that bad and you don't have to go home and study afterwords

I wanted to let you all know that I was finally able to get a Job to start working as a on call nurse they call and I go in ! It’s my firstNursing job and I am excited.. so the build has been on a slow stop while I was getting trained and used to everything with the new job.
Right now I am actually leaning on buying a new sump verse building one. Mostly due to the fact that my life may be getting a little busier now that I am starting to work. I have a few in mind and I’ll keep you all posted .
Thank you for being patient with me so much throughout this build process..
Happy Reefing to all of you ... sorry there is no pictures
