Hi. I've just upgraded my 30 gal reef setup to hold a 6 gal sump in the cabinet with an overflow box (previously I was running the tank using an external canister filter for about a year.)
I've primarily done this just to hide equipment and just as a bit of a project to learn from. I have a skimmer that I'm going to set up in there asap. I've also have 5lbs of LR that I've just put in the bottom
Being a bit new to this, can anyone suggest what else I could do with the sump to make the most efficient use of the small space I have. Also, Does it need a sand bed in the main compartment? Should I just fill it with as much LR as I can afford?
Help would be appreciated..
Thanks
