Raszagil Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I have a brand spanking new almost 60 gallon tank, ('16 by '18 by '48) and I am going to setup a sump for the first time ever. Soft coral and mushroom tank, so I don't want a lot of flow. Mostly I want this sump for growing cheato to keep my darned algae blooms under control. Don't need high flow for that I don't think...and it's probably going to be three feet from sump to overflow. Shouldn't have any sandstorms with less then 500 gph....I think. My plan is as follows: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/danner...water-pump.html http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/deluxe...-overflows.html http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/cpr-au...return-kit.html You are looking at a total sump noob, but I did find some good info using the search feature, and I think the above will do for what I want. Sump is going to be a 20 gallon long I think. I want something plug and play.... So before I hit the checkout button am I missing anything? Thanks in advance for any help! Link to comment
disaster999 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 sounds good to me, but i would look into used overflow boxes (cheaper) and better pump (lower energy consumption). also you need drain hoses and materials to make your baffles (acrylic, silicone, cutters etc) Link to comment
