Needreefunds Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I appreciate your help. I will take you up on it as things progress. I have been searching sump designs online and it seems like they all have partitions. I am intimidated. If I recall correctly, its tough to get a 30 under the stand and still have room above to work- service pumps, skimmer cup etc. I wound up with a 20 long. As for the DIY partitions, I'm sure you can do it bud, kinda fun actually. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Congrats on the new tank. Should be a fun ride I'm sure. Any ideas the focus or direction you want to take with it? Mixed reef, SPS dominant, etc? Adam Link to comment

Mixed reef, SPS dominant, etc? Adam Adam! Thanks for the 'grats! I am really looking forward to having a tank again. I will be going with a mixed reef---less SPS than softies and LPS. I have been thinking about it all day. My best results in tubs came when I had a remote deep sand bed and upstream fuge. I have thoughts of a drilled 30g upstream of the display. Since I am in my "man cave" in the basement, I don't have to worry so much about looks. I can build a tall stand and let gravity take care of the rest. I am owed some cash from my past snake buyers. Once I get some o' dat munneh I am going to get 4-6 tanks for clowns. When that materializes, I will use sponge filters (that I will pre-cycle in my display!) and 10g tanks. I'm going to keep them all separate for the start. This step is months away..... Link to comment
MitchReef Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 a man with a plan....that's a dangerous thein.... I disagree with one thing though....MORE SPS!!!!!! (Or was that more cowbell???) Link to comment

I would suggest plumbing those 10g. into a sump. Its a PITA to running independent breeder tanks. You're going to have a hard time with water conditions due to heavy feeding, longer light cycle, and higher temps. Link to comment
