Well this will be my first reef tank. It's a standard 45 gallon with wooden stand. What I have so far on this tank is an emporer 400 and a maxi jet 500 for now. I'm still up in the air as far as a sump goes . A 20 long may not fit in the stand so I might be stuck with a 10 gallon sump. That brings me to my first question is a 10 gallon sump even worth it? Will I even be able to run a skimmer? Maybe a turf scrubber will be more beneficial ? Anyways things I still need to buy are another powerhead , overflow, dual t5 ho fixture and build a sump or turf scrubber and get a return pump. I'm thinking CPR 700 gph overflow and mag 7 pump. This will be a slow build since I have the tank setup in hypo to qt my last addition for my 180 fowlr setup.if anyone can steer me in the right direction as far as my sump issue goes that would be great. Thanks
