In order to meet the refugium requirements for my 220g tank and due to space limitatiins of the store bought stand I am going to run two sump tanks.
The first is essentially a 27 gallon heavy duty storage tub. All drains will dump into this tub and this will be my refugium. On the other end I have a 2" bulkhead that will drain into the 40 gallon breeder where the skimmer and return pump will be.
There is plenty of room in the 40g tank for the skimmer and return pump and a third chamber. So, I have the following options.

There is plenty of room in the 40g tank for the skimmer and return pump and a third chamber. So, I have the following options.
- Use the third chamber for an ATO tank. I could put a float on the third chamber wall and pump right into the return pump section.
- Extend the size of the fuge by using the first chamber in the 40g for more fuge space, then second chamber would be skimmer and last the return pump as usual.
