The 90 that I have now is drilled with the corner overflow. The 120 is not drilled. I was thinking I would start with setting up one 90 display tank and then later on as funds become available add on additional 90 show tanks. How difficult would be to use the 120 (not drilled) as the show...

I just picked up a used 120 Gallon tank today that I am going to use for the sump. If I did my math right I believe this size sump/refugium could support three 90 Gallon tanks. Now I am loking for good designs to convert the 120 into the sump/refugium.

Thanks for the warning. My plans are to start off with one 90 gallon and in the future add a secon 90. I am looking to also purchase a used 75 gallon to set up for the sump.

As I understand the top off is of fresh water which keeps the salinity of the tank in acceptable range. If tank A is running lights that cause a faster evaporation than tank B will the salinity values of tank A, tank B, and the sump be the same in this configuration?

The tanks would be side by side. I guess I am trying to invision how the ATO would work in the sump. I guess it would not matter which tank is low? THe ATO would kick in and water then would go to both tanks with the one tank requiring more water retaining more water?

I would like to install two 90 Gallon tanks to one sump/refugium. Is this possible and is it a good or bad idea? With this setup could I still incorporate a top off device in the sump for both tanks? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to setting up two 90s versus one 150 gallon tank? I...

Thanks for the help.

Sump In unheated area? I am in the planning stage of my first saltwater tank. I am thinking about placing my sump in a garage that does not have heat or cooling. The sump will be on the garage side of the wall with the tank inside the house on the other side of the wall. I am thinking of...

The outside temperature was 31 degrees with the garage area being at 57 degrees. The temperature this morning is 28 outside with the garage being 55 degrees.

The reef tank would be in the house where I would then connect the overflow pipe through the adjoining wall to the sump located in the garage instead of the sump being located under the tank. This would give me the ability to easily perform maintenance on the sump (more room), located close to...

You have a beautiful tank.

Sump I am thinking about a reef tank.

Sump In the Garage I live in the Richmond Virginia area. The garage is insulated and the sump would be placed on a wall next to the house and away from the garage door. It is an ideal location with a water heater and plumbing close by. I placed a thermometer in the garage last night to...

I have been in the hobby now off and on for a long time. I had a salt tank about 20 years ago and loved the beauty of the environment but became frustrated with the salt spray and maintenance. My recent tank was a 55 G fresh water live bearer tank. This tank just sprung a leak which was my...
