Metalac...You have been extremely helpful....I will do more research, of course, but you have given me some great ideas. I really like the DIY Calcium reactor. Thanks again.....
I was eying the AquaC EV120 or EV180. Looks to me like it could go outside OR inside the sump but I may be wrong. I was planning for a 20 or 30 gallon sump. The stand gives me 4 feet wide by about 18 inches deep in the middle. If I go to add Coral I guess I would need a Calcium reactor...
Well, I'm not sure....there will be baffles, the refugium section with a light above....and what else is there???....a pump?....should the pump be external to the sump or in the sump?
Can someone briefly discuss the benefits of Skimmer placement. In the sump or next to it. The advantages or disadvantages. Also what are the plumbing differences? I have a 72 gal. Bowfront (non-drilled) I want to setup as a reef tank eventually. I think I want to start as a FOWLR and move...
Hi,
Newbie here...Do I use PVC, hoses? How do I plumb back into the tank? Where do the pumps go and how do I prevent a flood in case of power loss? I want build a sump...do I use a small aquarium or build out of acrylic? A lot of questions I know but I appreciate any help you can give me...
