I am slowly purchasing items for my "dream reef tank" (which will house mostly LPS and fish), after a long hiatus from this wonderful hobby. I have an acrylic (24x60x20), tank and a beautiful aluminum stand, so far. I would now like to purchase a sump that will act as a refugium. Instead of filter socks or a roller, I would like a box where I can put filter floss, to be changed out as needed. I would also like a chamber for Miracle Mud and separately, live rock rubble and possibly some live sand. Lastly a chamber for chaeto algae. (Live rock rubble and sand to be purchased from Tampa Bay Saltwater). No protein skimmer but, of course, room for a return pump and heater. Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance!
