Hi everyone-
So I have a RSR 425XL on order right now and I'm designing my system. I have the opportunity to put a refugium behind the wall of my tank, rather than cram it into the RSR sump. (Finished basement wall.) My plan is to T off my return, drill a 20 gal breeder for intake on one end, and drill and install an overflow on the opposite end. I'm using an overflow back to the sump for safety: If I try to plumb it back to the tank with a separate pump, that's one more mechanical to fail... and if the rate of the outflow slows down below the inflow rate... well you know what will happen.
I'll light it with a good grow light, like a Kessil H80 or H160, and run it on an opposite photoperiod.
Has anyone done something similar to this, and if so, how did you plumb the return?
Thanks in advance!
(build thread coming...)
