hi-
I'm new to here but i have had fish tanks for a few years. I'm no expert but i know i bit. anyways, i have this idea for a setup, but was wondering if it would work or if it isn't a good idea. i was think of a "closed" system so to speak. it would basically be sealed except where an automatic feeder would be. i would use a sump or refugium just depends. the display tank would be connected to the sump from holes cut out of the glass. i have a ten gallon tank now with a sump and the sump is basically sealed up except for where tubes and wires come out. in the summer it gets pretty hot. i figured heat would be the main problem. i was just thinking of a way to minimize water lose and salt build up. thanks for your input.
