Hey everyone. i have gotten the urge to add a filtration system that’ll help me out with nitrates whether it be a refugium, a reactor of some sort, etcetera. the main challenge is that it will be under my tank in the cabinet and so the water flow is my biggest worry. my original idea was to put a 5 gallon refugium in there with a pump inside the fuge sucking water up to the tank and a pump inside my tank sucking water down to the fuge. i didn’t take overflow into consideration so now i’m back to 1st base. at this point, i’d just like something to bring even more quality to the water in my still maturing tank and would enjoy a small refugium the most but the issue of overflow is still there and i’m not sure how to deal with that with such little space. maybe a taller tank will help? i really hope you can help me out as i even just purchased the tunze 9400dc and it is too big for my built in sump so i’ll be returning it since i don’t want a big bulk in the display. Tank specs: 30gallon (uni tank with built in sump) , current life: 4 leathers and 3 zoa colonies + bangaii and a clown. Please help me figure out how i can have a fuge i’d really like to put some cool stuff in there /: thank you for your 2 cents. here are some pictures + dimensions! (the stuff in there will be emptied out of course)
