  1. Quick SumpSkimmer Question by a Newbie

    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.....
  2. Quick SumpSkimmer Question by a Newbie

    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?
  4. Quick SumpSkimmer Question by a Newbie

    I assume you mean with the skimmer IN the sump as opposed to next to it. Cool.....good point.
  5. Quick SumpSkimmer Question by a Newbie

    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...
  6. How do I plumb a non-drilled 72 gal tank to a sump?

    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...
