Ok, please take a look at my sump design and tear it apart...where do you see downfalls, potential risks and all that jazz.
My reasoning for this type of sump. I have a 150 gallon display 60x24x24, single overflow and one return. I don't have the ability to do a basement sump so I'd like to have a frag tank for future frags and acclimation and I hate frag racks in my DT. I really enjoy being able to a refugium for macro algae and to provide some diversity and a place for pods to grow and flourish.
The goal would be to hang a 4 bulb T5 light over the fuge/frag area and the smallest useful size they come in is 24 inches, hense the raceway type design that way I can place better grow bulbs over the fuge area and certain types of bulbs over the frag section OR should I just setup where the fuge and frags are divided length wise and have two square sections vs the raceways?
Please let me know what you think.
