Okay guys im going to set up a saltwater aquarium prolly 60 or 75 gallon. Im wanting to do a sump and I know I got to drill my aquarium. Im ok with this. My question is if I buy a pre built sump whats the best one? Also what other equipment do I need to set up a sump? And if I were to make my own sump what percent of my display should the sump be? I super new to sumps and ive seen BRS bideo on drilling for overflows. Seems pretty self explanatory. Also how should I run the sump? I.e. wet/dry, berliner, and cant remember the other lol. And if there is a huge article full of information about all this that would be grwat cuz I have yet to find one place with a lot of info.

Also im looking at the current led reef fixture. Is this good for any coral? What would you guys recommend thats a little easy on the electric bills? Also whats a good ro/di unit thats screws onto say an outside faucet? Im currently active duty and rent my home so I cant tap into existing water lines.

Spectrapure 90gpd or brs 5 stage RODI. You can buy a garden hose adapter from both sites. You will probably need a protein skimmer and definitely an auto top off (ato) and a pump for return water, reactor for carbon and gfo or you can put it in a bag in the sump under high flow. There are many many sumps out there. But try http:// melevsreef.com
