I"ve got 2 phosban reactors (one carbon and one phosban) daisy chained together. This way both are powered by the smame powerhead! I"m even considering doing the recirculation mod on my ASM skimmer and having the water from my phosban reactors become the feed for it.

air.

Mine is sitting empty in the back yard.

It's going to have a Deltec MC500 and an eheim 1262 return pump. Maybe a reactor of some kind.

I might rebuild my sump so I have a nice big fuge in there.

anyone have pics of their 20g sumps? I have a 20g as well but seems very small and narrow to fit all that equipment in....

I have a built in drip tray with various medias, and my quietone 3000 return pump with stealth heater (which may need replacing soon due to the shock symptom)...Trying to find a skimmer to fit the dimensions of the sump and not be to high to hit the bottom of the tank, but its seeming more difficult than i imagined....

 

[HAVIC]

I upgrade from a 20 because it was too small. I now have a 30 gallon with glass baffles. I got them cut at lowes for about $20.

H&S 150-F2001 Skimmer
Aquabee pump for the skimmer
Mag 9.5 return pump
Refugium compartment is live sand, rubble rock, and cheato.
Ebo Jager Heater

Saltwater too

 

[tonyyammine]
