Hello guys,

I would like to know if there is another external sump which can be used in the Red Sea E260 other than the Red Sea one.
Long story short, I would like a sump where I have a compartment for a skimmer and another one for a refugium only.
I really want to have a compartment to grow macroalgae and copepodds and in the Red Sea E260 external sump, you only have one compartment where you can put the skimmer and a refugium that you would have to divide with a baffle.
I tried to divide the compartment with egg crate and other dividers but it makes it messy and the macroalgae usually gets sucked in the skimmer etc...
I am not a super manual guy and would prefer a “plug and play” sump but any input would be appreciated. Thanks a lot for your help!

How much room do you have to work with inside your E260's cabinet?
