Aquarium Advice Regular
I have purchased all of the parts to setup a 124 gallon tank with a 44 gallon sump.
i am looking at using a shallow sand base with lr in the main tank.
i am looking at dividing the sump into four sections
1) lr ruble filter - nitrifying
2) chamber for skimmer
3) refugium with magic mud and calerpa - de-nitrifying
4) chamber for return pump
am i going along the right lines? can anyone see any problems with this?
i know that most people recommend a dsb but i really don't like the look so i was hoping to get away without having to use one, i could always add more sand later if i needed it to reduce the nitrates.
also, the sump is currently a standard 48 inch tank, how do i go about dividing it? does anyone have any designs or advice as to the size of the chamber?
cheers for the help
