hey all, so got my first non aio reef tank anduring black friday, got a clarisea 3000 but didnt realize it doesnt integrate well into the trigger sump. Instead of paying $60 in return shipping for the sump, thinking about still using it but putting the clarisea 3000 into chamber 2 of the sump, which would normally be the skimmer section…would then put skimmer in part 3, where refugium would be.
do you all think this could work with some plumbing modifications? is this a dumb idea? seems pretty straightforward to hook the red sea drain line to the clarisea which now has the 32mm adapter.
I like the look of the trigger sump a lot more than the standard red sea sump that came with the reefer (which i would have to mod to accommodate the clarisea).
What I would lose out on is the ability to run a proper refugium, but that’s OK since I think between the fleece and skimmer, nutrient export wont be too much of an issue. in fact i struggle with too clean of tanks right now in my AIO. will stock this reefer 300xl with mostly nano fish and softies/lps.
thoughts?
