Aquarium Advice Addict
I am ready to set up the fuge
I got my tank moved and all is well. I plan on placing a maxijet 1200 in my sump to pump water to the fuge and then when the fuge hits a certain water level, the water will drain back into the sump. What tubing size would be a snug fit in the maxi outlet nozzle? 1/2"? I can put a zip tie on it but I want it snug. The pump will pump up about 3ft so I think this will be enough flow for the fuge.
I ordered some crud from premium aquatics that will be here tomorrow. I plan on adding this to the sand that is in the fuge right now. The sand I have in the fuge now, I left out from the tank when I moved it. The fuge won't have a DSB at this point.
I have waited for the water to clear up a bit before tieing the fuge into the main system but can I just add the crud tomorrow or should I let that settle too? I only got 5lbs of crud and the sump is a 25 gal rubbermaid container with 15 gal of water.
I hope to get some cheato' algae and hopefully the crud will have some nice pods for me.
What do most people use for lighting? Do I really need a small PC fixture or can I uses something simpler?
Just trying to get it all done. Am I missing anything?
Thanks for the help.
