Okay so I bought a 55 gallon sump, and building a 75 gallon sump how I would like it set up. But this is a question while running the 55 for the time being
I would like to add a refugium. Mainly for Chaeto. Helping with my algae. And pods
I have a couple 10 gallon tanks that are drilled for overflows. My display is on the main level of the floor with dual 1-1/2 overflows into the basement where the sump is.
My question is could I build a stand above the sump. Split one of the overflows over to the refugium then the overflow back into a filter sock to go on down the line. And grow cheato in that tank?
Would there be any problem with flow/overflow. Being before the skimmer and return pump?
Or second option is split my reactor pump line. Only running it at half capacity right now. And run that into the fuge then gravity overflow back into the filter sock and down the line from there
Or just use the middle section of my sump for a fuge. Don’t know the best way to go about it. Middle section is lower flow of course but I don’t have any way of keeping the cheato and pods in before the baffle and return section
Any advise or help would be awesome! Thank you
