What to put in my sump

[StevenSeas]

So I am getting a new 4' sump for my 300 and was looking for some input as to what to put in it.

It has 2 7" socks in the first sock chamber,
a 14x19 skimmer chamber, a 14x19 refugium chamber, and a 8x19 return pump chamber.

Currently I have a skimz external skimmer, biopellet reactor, carbon reactor, 2 pumps (1 for the return and 1 for all the equipment )

Since the skimmer is external I was planning on running it that way, which leaves me with an empty chamber, so I thought about 4 options, what do Yall think?

A) doing 2 fuges, 1 with mineral mud and mangroves, the other bare bottom with cheato.
B) a xenia or Kenya tree fuge, followed by cheato.
C) a frag section, and a standard cheato fuge.
D) just use the empty chamber to house the reactors in case of a leak?

Option C. I love mine in my sump. It comes in really handy if you break stuff up top moving things around.

I would say C or D. Having a frag rack hidden away from the display is always nice. Also piece of mind of having a reactor leak into that chamber would be nice as well.

Well, I'm not a fan of external skimmers and reactors...just a personal aversion to potential leaks. However, if you're going to do that for sure, I'd definitely go with the frag section in the sump.

Just got my new sump. Best birthday present ever! Can't wait till this weekend to get it hooked up.

I would do a frag section. That's what I plan on doing. Throw an AI prime in there.
