So my question is for those of you who have or have used the Eshopps R100 2nd Gen Sump.
Ive been reading and reading so i have a pretty good handle on things so far. But my question is this:
Has anyone out there had any luck using this sump as a Refugium as well? This first compartment easily fits my ASM mini skimmer, so i figured it was possible to use the second compartment as a refugium. Now my concern is the oval opening between the first compartment and the central compartment. Will this opening keep the central compartment from being a productive refugium?
Also, what is the putrpose of the small baffle on the bottom of the central compartment? More surface area for algae? A substrate restraint, to keep sand from moving around in the sump floor?
Ive attached a picture of the Eshopps Sump for reference.
Any and all info is apprecaited, and if anyone is willing to help me set this sump up correctly, im all ears.
Thanks All! Its a pleasure having this forum at my disposal, super helpful!
