No I havnt talked to Mike, lol. To be honest with you fish were the reason I got into the hobby to begin with and have always kept my attention more than the corals. A lot of the fish I like have a ton of personality but there is no way they could ever be in a reef tank.

As for the split drain I hadnt really though of that but I think its a great idea. Thanks!

this is the way i have mine ... i just put a ball valve to control the drainage flow from the main tank to the frag tank and then the frag tank drains into the sump

I could be speaking out of turn here, but the last time we visited Ping he did away with the xenia sump. He now has a DSB only tank with just a little Live Rock amongst his other two or three fuge/sump tanks in his system.

Hmmm, its been a long time since I viewed his tank. So maybe he did. If anything it may just be a fuge. Im going to send him a pm.

Thanks Ros for the heads up.

Depending on the media used in the reactor, wouldn't you want the reactor before the skimmer?

[RayAllen]

The reactor will just run carbon, so im not sure that actually matters. Its just for water clarification.

Im scaping the xenia idea, Going to be a large fuge with a lot of Macro. My thought process on this is that I know it works plus it will be a great copepod source for live fish food.
