ok next question after the 180 tank move.
I want to use a standard glass 75g tank that is now my QT tank as the sump/fuge, but really not sure how to set it up. My plan is to use aquarium sealant and 1/4" acrylic to divide the sections.
I know I need:
1. an intake section for the 2 overflows to drain into, then some baffles to eliminate the bubbles
2. The fuge section in the center to maximize water flow through the sump
3. Then the skimmer/return pump section (or should the skimmer be in the intake section?) (I use an ASM G-3 skimmer and Eheim 1262 return pump - want to double that and add a second 700gph Lifereef overflow)
4. I also need to have room for about 15-20 gallons in case the power is shut off
5. Somewhere in there I want the heater and any other accesories I add later down the road
Anyone seen one like this or have some good advice?
Thanks
