Hey all quick question.
I started my tank about 2 months ago now and everything is going great so far!
The only problem I forsee is that I am currently using a cannister filter and I can see some nitrate levels creeping up despite regular water changes and media changes. I want to transition to a sump but I dont know where to start.
I was thinking about going with a Model 1 Aqueon Pro Flex Sump: Aqueon » Aqueon ProFlex? Modular Sump Filtration | Products
This way I can convert it to a wet/dry, refugium or berlin.
What else do I need to get this going? I cannot drill my tank because it is tempured so I believe I would want an overflow box seen here:
Reef Aquarium Filtration: Eshopps Overflow Boxes
But how do I know what box?
What else do I need? Return pump? What GPH do I need? PVC? Fittings etc?
There does not seem to be any good material on a step by step basis on what to do. Any advice/help/input is greatly appreciated.
P.S. My tank build is now in my signature!
