Hey, I went to a local coral shop at found a setup. 25g rimless cube with stand, and a small sump. (100$) so I bought it.
the problem I’m having is the sump is more tall than wide. I don’t have room for a microbubble trap if I use a skimmer and fuge. I want to do it right, the stand can’t fit a 10g in the bottom. I want to keep all of the equipment in the sump. I can add a small separation from return if I just do a skimmer. I’ve read that I should have a fuge for my plans (25g mixed reef for my pair of clowns). Do I need a fuge if I buy a beefy skimmer. Or do I add a skimmer and fuge, but not add a micro bubble trap, will they a problem. The tank has a 10x turn over.
