Howdy!
In preparation for my new 90g tank I am trying to nail down my sump. I'm going to use my old 55g tank as the sump. I will be building my own stand once I have all the preliminary measurements down to make sure I'm fine with height/etc. I appreciate any advice.
Keep in mind that after my tank is established (8-10 months) I would love to get a mandarine. I'm would like to setup my sump now to help support that future growth. Here is what I have thought of (using paint!):
In the thought of future growth for pods I can make the live rock rubble section 16" wide and the skimmer section 8" wide. I can also adjuster other things if I need a larger return section.
I would also place two heaters in the return section, at least that is where I would think it would go. The return pump is a Mag 9.5. It is a custom made skimmer for a 125g tank.
Thanks!
