Hey guys and Gals,
So I have been doing lots of reading and studying on starting a Marine Aquarium, and I have come to the subject of Refigums, Sumps and Portien Skimmers and I have several questions, it seems like no matter how much I read about them I can figure out how they work.
1. Are a sump and a refigum the same thing?
2. How does a refigum work? How does the water get down to it? And then back to the tank? What does it do once it's in the tank? Why are there several differnt chambers?
3. What exactly does a protien skimmer do and how does it work? I've seen some built into the refigum is that needed?
Like I said I've done lots of reading maybe someone can dumb it down for me? Its getting frustrating wanting to learn all this and hitting a roadblock.
Thanks!!!
