Any hint or advice? That is my first sump 13G will go under a a 17G tank. Tank is bought for cheap and arrived broken (so it's free), fixed with 5mm glass patch.

Baffles are in 4mm plexyglass, setup is mostly copied from the shappire sump series. few accessories are 3d printed.

Not nice but hopefully will work nicely.

Skimmer is a magtool sq80, 1 socks, refugium and probes holder in the middle, adjustable baffles and then return chamber with dosing pipe holder, ATO sensor holder and a CoralBox DCA 2000.

If someone has a coralbox DCA, how do you setup the float switch? As overflow sensor or as low-level sensor?
