Then the next set of sections would be just like a normal sump. The MH lights would give enough lighting in the other sections for any algae you want to grow. This way you get the benefits of a larger water volume but without having to buy extra heaters, skimmer, and pumps. Or I'm sure Marc will custom make you one out of acrylic.

Thanks! I was originally thinking of doing something similar to that.. maybe like a 125 for the "sump" and divide everything into sections like you said.. and maybe that's the way I should go... I just thought a seperate tank would look cooler and be easier to access... but maybe it would be too complicated. Idk.. good idea though thanks.
