Oh yeah, there is a PHENOMENAL deal on a 265 in the for sale thread. 500 dollars ready to roll! If I had the money I would buy it right now.

clear out the gravel and add dry sand or buy live sand from someone from here. but some manmade rock from OU812PEZ and then add some live rock from either wolf reef/premium aquarics or that someone is selling on here. change the flouresent bulbs to actinics, add a maxjet1200 powerhead for movement. now sit back for a month or so as the rock and sand become bacteria laden (live) and goes through a cycle. while waiting you can plan what type of lighting to use and what type of filtration (sump,refugium, skimmer).

I want to make a sump out of a 10gal tank...would that be appropriate?

[mathias]

no 10 gal is way to small

[mathias]

main reason for a sump is to add more water volume and to add equipment to the tank that you can hide from the display...

[krazykdnb]

so more like a 29gal for a 55gal?

[Jeff]

29 gl would be good for a sump.
