Hi all,
I'm currently planning my upgrade system (280g - 96x28x24 w/60x18x18 sump) and am thinking about plumbing an additional tank within the cabinet for use as a grow out tank. I primarily buy captive bred fish and its a bit of a lottery as to what sizes are available, with some species being released to market pretty early at absolutely tiny sizes (my azure damsels were the size of my little fingernail!) so it would be good to have a seperate tank plumbed into the main system so that once past QT they have a place to pack some size on before heading to the DT.
I'm wondering what the best way to do this is and if anyone has any examples or pics of setting something similar up?
I'm thinking of having a split of my drain or return line to the seperate tank which would then overflow back into the first chamber of the sump (Triton method so in this case the algae compartment) but i'm not sure of the best way to go about it so am open to suggestions.
Thanks
Nick
