Vandano Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Purchased a Marineland 27Gal cube. Got it for 50% off since the included light was missing http://www.petsmart.com/gsi/webstore/WFS/PETNA-PETUS-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProduct-Start;pgid=6lBuUTMOJSdSRpbUhwXJX1pZ0000R90WTPUh?SKU=36-17297 Going to be custom building approx 20 GAL sump with refugium. (shown below) Current plan is -Eshopps PF Nano Overflow Box -Mag 3 Return Pump -Aquatic life 115 Mini Internal Protein Skimmer -20" Current USA 6x18W T-5 (3x12K / 3x460NM Actinics) -500 GPH Powerhead in tank Lights will be set to auto timers and all components will have switches in door to turn on and off for simpler control. (Im an electrician) Backup battery for powerhead to sustain tank for shorter duration power outages. Heaters will be determined after tank is complete. For now 2x75 heaters with built in thermostat. Stocking plans are still being thought out. Certainly 2 clown fish and corals nothing to extravagant as im new to the hobby. What do you all think? Link to comment
bonsaidarrell Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How is the water going to flow in the sump? Link to comment
Vandano Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Via the two circles in the overhead shot. 200 gpH overflow box split to divert greater flow to the skimmer Link to comment

Vandano Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I don't think so. I might do a live rock rubble in the refugium side to cut down on some bubbles since there is no baffle Link to comment
