Here is the newest setup I got to start building a new reef tank. 54 gallon corner tank....looks to be a 10 gallon sump? Been years since I had one, and I never used a sump. I used canister filtration and a refugium only.
My question....how do I hook this thing up once I get it all clean? It seems to have three chambers...the two large ones, and a small one above where the bioballs are held. Can someone point me in the direction of what goes where...which way is in and out, and is there anything else I should add/take away from this?
I don't even know where the powerhead goes...this stuff was all thrown in a box when I got it. The pump bottom right of the sump was in the rigt portion (looking at the picture) so I am assuming it should stay there...it appears that one is pump and heater all in one unless I just didn't utangle all the cords. There is a long heating element running under the sponge filter from right to left side of the tank. And where should the skimmer go on this, in the sump??
Lastly..I want to do another refugium as well, something basic with some ruble, macros, and buggies to start a good colony. How would I arrange that in this sequence?
Thanks in advance!
