What is everyone using for their sump or refugium on their large aquariums? I'm am starting a 300 gallon tank. I have been looking at sumps or large refugium. There are not many options for large tanks without going custom or DIY.
Also, I see a lot of people on here stating the total volume of their tank with their sump volume. For example " I have a 300 gallon tank and a 100 gallon sump. My total volume is 400 gallons." In most cases aren't sumps only being filled 7-9 inches, so total water volume is significantly less? Or are folks able to get a much higher water level by using an external skimmer or raising the internal skimmer in the sump?
