I have always wanted to start a reef tank! So, 4 months ago with the help of my mothers intrest (If she can grow every plant under the sun, she thinks she can grow coral too!!) in the subject and pocket book, we started a simple 30 gallon reef tank. Of course we went through all the basic mistakes :mad2: but now have the tank under control. I am leaving to Chicago in 2 weeks for school and am leaving mom to handle the tank. I love the tank but hate all the equipment hanging off the side of the tank (skimmer, UV steralizer, filter, etc.).
I have been reading alot about sumps and the benifits of having one. I am now willing to build a stand using the GARF web-sight guides but also want to build a sump. But, of course i am completely comfused where to begin. I understand the very basics but would like help to make a simple sump with refugium that will be fairly easy for my mother to maintain (she catches on quick). I have a ten gallon glass tank that is not in use and figured somehow i could modify that to make my sump. If there is anyone who can help and guide this novice and excited reef junkie, please let me know!
