Getting Started

Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help.
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...

Had some questions about my sump set up. I’ll attach another picture for reference. The flow is designed as follows: Main Overflow>filter sock with ceramic rings in same chamber>skimmer/skimmer chamber>(Center chamber)bio balls/bio brick>return chamber. Is this set up sufficient or is there any suggestions or re arrangement that I could/should do

I guess I’m mostly concerned about the bio balls in the center chamber, the way it’s set up the flow is very low non existent where the balls are placed as most of the movement is on the surface between the baffles of the 1st and 3rd chamber.
