Set-up Diagram

[JG67]

Could aynone point me to a good diagram of a full set up. I am trying to educate myself with respect to the components of a full set-up.
I Googled for a while but the only one I found was that linked below. Is this image pretty exhaustive?




iagram: F.O.W.L.R Aquarium

Mine has two overflows that gravity feed the refugium which goes over into the bioballs(soon to be LR rubble) and under a baffle to the return area where I have a mag9.5 and a mag 12 that returns the water up top. Not much on drawing so I hope you can grab that.

What size tank you puting together? That drawing implies a larger tank with an overflow box drilled.

The tank is a pre-drilled 70 gallon "corner bow". The overflow is in the rear center.

After a little web research, I get it. Do you keep any livestock permanently in the refugium?

Other than pods and a few snails that find their way there, there is no livestock in the fuge. Some people will put hermit a/o other crabs there after removing the littel devils from the main tank.

I got a couple peppermint shrimp, tiny crabs, and an emerald green. Of course the live rock pieces (rubble and medium pcs), and chaeto. Oh yeah the resident pods and worms.
